REALLY excited to welcome the fabulous Olivia Fines to our BTS Performing Arts session this week!
Olivia trained at Laine Theatre Arts and on graduating went on to play the role of Iris in the European Tour of “Fame”, after which she travelled the world performing aboard the 6 Star Luxury Crystal Cruise Lines. On returning to the UK Olivia joined the National Tour of “Grease” understudying and playing the roles of Marty and Rizzo, then taking over the role of Patty Simcox. Olivia joined the West End cast of “Singin’ In The Rain” at The Palace Theatre, London, then understudied and played the leading role of Lina Lamont on the subsequent UK Tour, also playing Lina in a production in Tokyo. 2015 saw Olivia join Jason Manford in the UK Tour of “The Producers” understudying and playing the lead role of Ulla, followed by a stint back in London joining Catherine Tate in new musical “Miss Atomic Bomb” playing the role of Sharon.
We are THRILLED to welcome Olivia to BTS Performing Arts – her “Singin’ In The Rain” workshop with our Main School last year was BRILLIANT!! Can’t wait!!

As we begin rehearsals for our summer production, The Wizard of Oz at Loughborough Town Hall on 18/19 June, we have now stopped taking any new starters for this year.
The next opportunity to join the East Midlands most exciting theatre school will now be at the start of the autumn term in September. To do so you will need to join our waiting list for places. Please contact us for details on how to secure your place on the waiting list.
BrightLights Theatre School, which has been open in Loughborough since 2011, has branched out to offer tuition in the Performing Arts aimed at older students who might be interested in entering the profession.
BTS Performing Arts first public performance will be the hilarious coming of age musical comedy “13”, which is all about discovering that “cool” is sometimes where we least expect it. With an unforgettable rock score from TONY Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown, (Parade, The Last Five Years, Bridges Of Madison County) “13” is a musical about fitting in – and standing out!
“Evan Goldman is plucked from his fast paced, preteen New York City life and plopped into a sleepy Indiana town following his parents divorce,” Nick continues. “Young Evan grapples with his parents’ separation, prepares for his impending Bar Mitzvah, and navigates the complicated social circles of a new school. Surrounded by an array of simpleminded middle school students, he needs to establish his place in the popularity pecking order. Can he situate himself on a comfortable link of the food chain or will he dangle at the end with the outcasts?! Why not come and find out?”
No character in “13” is older than the show’s title. The cast is comprised entirely of teenagers, but the stories that come to life here are ageless, the emotions they explore timeless, the laughter and the memories they provide priceless.
“13” is at The Robert Martin Theatre at Loughborough University on March 22nd and 23rd, tickets are available by emailing tickets@brightlightstheatreschool.com or by phone on 01509 646 647.
BrightLights Theatre School is thrilled to announce that our 2016 production will be ‘The Wizard Of Oz’
We will have 4 performances at Loughborough Town Hall over the weekend of 18 and 19 June 2016
Tickets will go on sale on Saturday March 5, our Town Hall performances sold out last year, so book early to avoid disappointment!
