We believe musical theatre offers a huge range of opportunities for personal development which can help prepare children for the inevitable challenges that life can present. Similarly, the skills learnt through musical theatre can also be recognised on CV’s and future applications if a child is looking to pursue a career in theatre. So whatever your reason for exploring Bath Theatre School, it is important that your hard earned money is adding as much value to your children’s future as possible.
