Having kept a very close eye on the recent government announcements, and taken advice from the Department of Education among others, we are delighted to announce that we plan on reopening BrightLights fully from early September!! Under current government guidelines we will have to make some changes to how we run, but we are extremely confident that we can make it work safely for all our students and staff. For more information, or to book a place for September, please email us at office@brightlightstheatreschool.com

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

Bright Lights Theatre School Posted on by

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and the closure of Loughborough Town Hall, it is with the greatest regret that we must announce the postponement of both our summer productions, ‘The Addams Family’ on 6 June and ‘Oliver!’ from 25-28 June.  As soon as Loughborough Town Hall and our licencing agents reopen we will do everything we can to re-schedule both shows. We advise all ticket holders to retain their tickets for the time being, a further announcement will be made in due course.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM BRIGHTLIGHTS TUESDAY 17 MARCH 2020

Bright Lights Theatre School Posted on by

In view of the Prime Ministers statement yesterday, and the closure of Gorse Covert Community Centre today, with a very heavy heart BrightLights will be suspending all sessions for the next 3 weeks with immediate effect. This will take us to our Easter break, when we hope the situation may be clearer.

Loughborough Town Hall have informed us this morning that they have also closed with immediate effect and that they will be reviewing this at the beginning of April. This means that BrightLights Acting performances of Animal Farm will be rescheduled. We WILL perform Animal Farm once this crisis has passed. We ask that for now you hold on to your tickets until further information is available.

The health and safety of all BrightLights students, staff and families is our absolute number one priority, and we will continue to keep everyone informed as more information becomes available.

Our office will remain open Tuesday to Friday 10-4 should you have any concerns. Please keep safe during this turbulent time.

Love to all,

Pat and Nick

BTS Acting launches in January

Bright Lights Theatre School Posted on by

Brightlights Acting is a new specialist acting only session from Brightlights Theatre School launching this January in Loughborough starting on 11 January 2018.

Students will be taught by Alexander Turner and Nick Sutcliffe with guest teachers from the industry.

For the first few months the sessions will be focusing on devising and physical theatre, finding the “play” in performance, and the importance of movement and body control in theatre. For the older group we will also cover the importance of creating your own work in the modern arts environment. All of this will culminate in a completely devised performance by the end of the Summer term.

BTS Acting classes are on Thursdays and run from 5.30 – 7pm for 8-12 year olds and 7.30 -9 pm for 13 – 18 year olds. Our term dates mirror local schools although we do not break for half term. The cost is just £10 per week, payable termly in advance, and there are several ways to pay including monthly instalments. Also, there is the opportunity to attend 2 taster sessions before making any commitment. If you would like to attend taster sessions it is £20 for the 2 weeks, if you decide to sign up after that we take it from there, if not there is absolutely no obligation.

BTS Acting will operate with exactly the same ethos of inclusivity as BrightLights, where ALL our students are equally welcome and equally nurtured. No experience is necessary – just enthusiasm!!

For further information or to secure your place please call us on 01509 646647 or 01530 542646
