Based in Hereford, they have been supporting and nurturing young, fresh talent for19 years and they are going from strength to strength. Having worked with over 1000 local performers now and have staged over 30 productions in their time. These productions have grown in grandeur and reach since 2013 when they outgrew their original home of the Laruperz Centre in Ross-On-Wye and moved their performances to The Courtyard Theatre (@CourtyardArts) in Hereford.
Their main purpose is to offer free of charge training and development for triple-threat performers, so they are able to go on and fulfil their dreams in the Arts.
