Stagecoach Performing Arts North Manchester is set to inspire the next generation of budding young performers in their newest venue, at The Heys School in Prestwich.

The venue officially opens on Sunday.

Students will be able to take their learning and skills in song, acting and dance to new heights, with access to theatre and drama rooms for the new 2023 term.

There will also be large spaces at The Heys School to rehearse and partake in more activities during weekly classes.

Principal Beth Turnbull said: “Last term, we put on our first ever show at the fantastic 53two in Manchester City Centre - a professional theatre.

“For a lot of our children, this was their first experience in front of an audience, never mind on a stage and it meant the world to us to be able to provide that opportunity for them.

“They were amazing, and we cannot wait for all the opportunities yet to come.

“Now we have access to a theatre at our weekly venue so that the children can become more accustomed to being on stage and develop their confidence in a theatrical environment, under lights with sound and technology at our disposal.”

This expansion follows various openings across the business as Stagecoach continues to report an increase in enrolments since 2019.

New Stagecoach franchises are continuing to open across the UK and the world, with even more 2023 launches being released in the coming weeks.

Early stages classes are available for children aged four to six and main stages classes take place for six- to 18-year-olds every weekend.
