What the kids say!
Singing, dancing and acting - Performance opportunities
We have done many projects that allow the kids to practice their acting, dancing, and singing. We’ve done short films, recreations, music videos, live performances, monologues and had the kids singing at the local Christmas fair, at Irlam and Cadishead Academy.
We do one big Summer musical in July and another in February. We have therefore two seasons: September to February and February to July. Auditions for each show are in September and February for lead roles. No audition required for the chorus. We also sing at Irlam station’s Xmas event in Decemberand Irlam’s summer festival in the park in august.

About us
Sophie and Matt moved to Irlam to be closer to work in Media City. Matt was working at the BBC and Sophie at ITV, on Coronation Street.
Developing the local area
Sophie was running Stage and Screen in other areas already, but noticed that Irlam had very few kids clubs and no singing, acting, dancing or film making clubs in Irlam or Cadishead.
She wanted to bring the performing arts directly to the kids of the area and that’s how Stage and Screen in Irlam came to be.
Bringing dance teachers to Irlam and Cadishead
Her goal is to develop dancing of all genres in the areas. The kids club currently has a ballet class and a street dancing class, but Sophie is eager to bring more, like tap dancing!
Bringing music teachers to Irlam and Cadishead
Sophie teaches both singing and piano to the local kids and hopes to develop music in the area further. She studied music for 10 years in France, so her music theory knowledge is pretty extensive. She has been passing ABRSM exams to get a good understanding of the UK marking system.
Bringing film making to Irlam and Cadishead
Having a very extensive on set experience as well as having 2 degrees in film, Sophie also wants to share her passion for film making with the younger generation. She has taught at several large performing arts school but has also been a film and TV lecturer at Staffordshire University.
A community
She loves that the club isn’t just a kids activity, but also a community where kids can meet other local kids from other schools, with similar interests and where parents can meet other parents!
