First and foremost, we would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. May this festive season bring joy, laughter, and cherished memories to all our students, their families, and the entire community.

To kick off this update, we are excited to announce that DTA's junior choir had an unforgettable experience filming at the enchanting Otterburn Castle in Northumberland. But that's not all - they had the incredible opportunity to perform alongside the renowned Alfie Boe and Carly Paoli for a Christmas special! It was an honour for our talented performers to share the stage with such esteemed artists, and former student, showcasing their abilities in a truly magical setting.

Additionally, we are proud to share that Directions Theatre Arts had the privilege of performing at the Chesterfield Christmas Light's Switch On 2023. Our talented student captivated the audience with stunning performances, spreading the festive spirit and bringing delight to all who attended. It was a momentous event that showcased the exceptional talent and dedication of our students.

Success in Spotlight:

We are thrilled to announce that Betsy Binns, Jessica Wright, and Pollyanna Cooper, three incredibly talented performers, have been selected to represent DTA (Drama and Theatre Arts) in this year's highly anticipated Pantomime production of 'ALADDIN' at the esteemed Winding Wheel Theatre in Chesterfield. Their hard work, dedication, and outstanding performances have secured them a well-deserved spot in this enchanting production. We applaud their accomplishments and cannot wait to witness their exceptional talents on stage. Bravo to Betsy, Jessica, and Pollyanna! Stay tuned for more updates as we cheer them on during their Pantomime journey.
