Pupils are expected to arrive 30 minutes before their schools showcase and sign in backstage.  Each Showcase is 50-90 minutes.

STAS Productions aims to provide opportunities for pupils at Sonnets Theatre Arts School to perform on a professional stage each year.  This helps pupils transfer their learnt skills onto the stage and enhances confidence building and team work skills.

Sonnets Theatre Arts School pupils get to experience the bright lights and excitment of performing on a professional stage and backstage is a hive of excitment too.  Sonnets pupils who start off nervous, can't wait to get back on stage!  STAS Productions are a highlight of the year for most pupils.

Pupils from Sonnets Theatre Arts School will perform a piece from each class they attend, which means everyone gets to act, sing and dance in a show every year. Sonnets Showcase is a variety show that gives all Sonnets pupils of varying ability equal opportunity to perform on stage.  David Phaure (STAS owner) is the shows compare and pianist, and occassionally you may hear him joining in and singing along!

We do also occassionally perform at fete's in the summer.

If children want to be involved in a musical theatre production each year, we run Musical Theatre Workshops in the Summer Holidays, past performances have been: Kids will Rock you and Bugsy Malone. In 2012 we will be running Summer Workshops in Andover and Marlborough, click here for more information.

STAS Events hosts and project manages Community Events to encourage young people to participate in the performing arts.  A recent project was in February 2011 Half term, we hosted a Musical Theatre Boot Camp for acts taking part in the Mayor of Test Valley's 'Test Valley's Got Talent' competition.

We have project managed a range of events to launch the regeneration of Andover from Christmas Lights Switch ons with snow special effects, to the first Summer Music Festival in the park.  Along side school outreach programmes such as the Andover XFactor competition, sponsored by local companies this ran each year from 2006-2009.
