West End Workshop opportunity for SGYT

 

 

We have an exciting opportunity for 14-16 year olds to participate in theatrical workshops lead by a professional West End actress as taster sessions for Stafford Gatehouse Youth Theatre (SGYT)

There will be a total of four workshops on Monday evenings from 5.30pm - 7.30pm throughout June for new members to try SGYT ahead of the new Autumn term.

Each two hour workshop will feature songs, scenes and dance routines from four different West End musicals:

June 1st: Wicked
June 8th: We Will Rock You
June 15th: Legally Blonde
June 22nd: Sweeney Todd

Katie Kerr

The workshops will be lead by Katie Kerr, whose professional debut was as Chiffon in the award winning production of "Little Shop Of Horrors" at the Menier Chocolate Factory alongside Sheridan Smith, later transferring to the West End.

She then went on to star in "Fat Pig", as Helen, directed by Neil La Bute also in the West End and has subsequently gone on to perform in several other plays and musicals such as Bridget Baines in "A Chorus of Disapproval" (UK Tour), Lynne and Sylvia in "Stepping Out" (UK Tour),Big Sue in Boy George's TABOO (Brixton Clubhouse) and, "Wicked" (UK Tour) where she played Shen Shen and understudied Madame Morrible.

Katie most recently has been seen performing alongside Emma Thompson and Bryn Terfel in the English National Opera's production of Sweeney Todd at London's Coliseum.

She also appeared in BBC 1 drama "What Remains".
