LAMDA Workshop
Altrincham Creative Theatre School was delighted to welcome a special tutor recently. Actor, director and LAMDA examiner Sarat Broughton found time in her very busy schedule to run a theatre workshop for their junior section, ACT I.
The students found the whole morning very interesting and said it helped expand their dramatic skills. Sarat said ” I really enjoyed working with this group as they were all very willing to engage in everything . I would be more than happy to come again to work with ACTS”.
Sarat is very happy to provide workshops to other drama societies and theatre groups and works regularly with children and adults alike. You can contact her by emailing sarat9@btinternet.com or ringing 07970412171.
Up for it!
We have some new students, its going to be another busy year but everyone is up for it, ready to start working and having fun doing it.

Altrincham Creative Theatre School have broken another record during this year’s One Act Play Festival season. They entered 3 festivals at Chelford, Wilmslow and Glossop winning 9 trophies, 4 Certificates of Merit and receiving 26 nominations! Our junior section, ACT I entered the play ‘Macbeth’ a comical version written by Geoff Bamber while our youth section, ACT II performed ‘Sour Grapes and Ashes’ by N. J Warburton. Hard work, dedication and commitment has again paid off with high praise being received from all the adjudicators and the audiences who saw the plays.
WELL DONE to everyone.
Hard Work Rewarded!
ACT I seen here with Tutors, Peter Ning and Head Tutor, Valerie Harris with the rewards they won at the Chelford One Act Play Festival. Jamie Bennett also won the Best Junior Actor award at the Wilmslow One ACT Festival.
Both sections will be hoping they can continue to impress people with their play performances when ACTS attend the Partington Players One Act Play Festival held at Glossop in July.
Heaven & Earth
Disappointing audience numbers for this years main productions which was a great shame after all the hard work put in by the students of A.C.T.S. However, those who did come were treated to two very good comedies. A new venue this time challenged our actors but they all coped very well with it. WELL DONE to one and all and thank you to all who helped backstage and front of house.
Coming Soon & Not to be Missed!!
Well Made Up!
This year we had not one but two Theatre Make Up Workshops, one for each section and we invited back Charlote Hemming and her assistant, Hannah Dawson to run these for us. Once again, the students were all issued with tissues, sponges, make up sticks and make up. With guidance from the two make up artists they begin to apply cuts, grazes, gashes and black eyes to themselves and each other! ACT II was shown how to work with latex to produce prosthetics. After moulding their wounds they painted them and then glued them into place. They also worked on ageing themselves up which produces some very interesting results.
