‘THE GREEN ROOM’

‘The Green Room’ cafe within the beautiful Stagestars School is a stylish area where parents, friends or locals can come to enjoy irresistible coffee and exceptional home baking. There is a wide range of hot and cold drinks along with a selection of freshly made cakes, for the perfect afternoon treat.

Whether it is to catch up with friends or simply relax while waiting for children participating in one of our classes, the atmosphere in the Green Room is very laid back, with chilled jazz or show music playing in the background. A warm and friendly welcome awaits new customers, and once they try the lemon drizzle cake, they soon become regulars!

The Green Room is aptly named at Stagestars for two reasons, the school building was formerly known as ‘The Green School’ as it was funded by Dr Green who set up the school in 1854. And now that it is a Performing and Creative Arts School it also has another meaning. In show business, the green room is the space in a theatre that functions as a relaxed area for performers before and after a performance.

Testimonials

My son looks forward to his Stagestars class every Thursday and has been attending now for 8 years. Having the mix of the three classes is just fantastic; music, drama and dance, which I feel gives a much stronger rounded performer. The school is like a second family to him and it’s wonderful that he is not the only boy, which used to be case at other dance classes he tried. It’s also wonderful for him to mix with children away from his day to day schooling, which will help him not only in performance, but the bigger social picture of life. Traveling 40miles is a commitment, but one worth having and getting home late after 9, but with a total buzz of what the new song or dance move is. Wonderful to see such enthusiasm and passion from a sixteen year old boy. Thank you Seonaid and the whole team.

 

Stagestars Scotland is a well organised, professionally run stage school on your doorstep which provides a variety of music, dance and drama based activities for all ages to a standard you would expect in large city. And how do I know this – well I’m proud to say that my family and I are part of it. My son has grown in confidence, achieved great things, stretched his ability and loved his 9 years as part of the team, and is looking forward to having 10 years under his belt as a performing arts student. The adult theatre school has given me the chance to return to a hobby which I enjoyed before I had my family, and given me opportunities which I thought had long gone! All thanks to Seonaid and her amazing staff.

 

I love gymnastics. My favourite things are doing circle ups on the bars and handsprings on the air track. The coaches are so nice and they always encourage me to try new things!

 

My daughter started with Stagestars PAS 4 years ago aged 8. Since starting she has been involved in two big shows and a number of other performances which she has loved and which have given her opportunities to learn in performing arts and grow with her self confidence. I too have thoroughly enjoyed learning and seeing for myself how things go backstage after helping behind the scenes of two big show performances. The work and commitment that goes into the shows is fantastic, both from staff and students, and the pride that the students show in themselves and each other is amazing! It was truly great to see! Staff are fantastic and my daughter has become especially fond of all her teachers there. I would and will always recommended Stagestars to anyone. It is a great place where the kids can relax, let go, be themselves and have lots of fun with some very talented mentors.

 

The staff at Stagestars are always friendly, caring and professional. It really is like you are part of their family, they make you feel so welcome. They are also very talented and excellent teachers. They expect high standards of their students and that is why their Shows are of such an  excellent standard. We are very lucky to have such a fantastic place around here!
