That's Show Last Century is a variety show, which will take the audience on a journey through the [...]
The final week of Term 1 was a perfect example of why Stagedoor's course is ideal for young performers with serious ambitions. We spent the entire week working with Ailin Conant, Artistic Director of Theatre Temoin.
