Musical Theatre for local schools with Arts International

84 children from three local primary schools were transported by the College to St Joseph’s for a free of charge day of intensive musical theatre workshops, all led by West End performers. The day culminated in a showcase for parents when the boys and girls demonstrated what they had learned with aplomb. 

The musical programme aimed to share the benefits St Jo’s students are lucky enough to derive from the College’s partnership with Arts International more widely among the children of the Ipswich area. Three practitioners brought the workshops alive with a first-class musical director, orchestrator and accompanist, stage and screen actor and choreographer and multidisciplinary artist who has worked alongside such stars as Little Mix.
