Traitor or Faithful? Stagecoach Stirling students shine on the West End Stage
Students from Stagecoach Performing Arts Stirling stepped into the spotlight last weekend when they had the chance to perform at the iconic Shaftesbury Theatre in London’s West End.
As part of the nationwide Stagecoach Performing Arts initiative, the children joined other Stagecoach schools from across the UK to perform an incredible piece of Musical Theatre entitled ‘Traitor or Faithful?’
The troupe performed rebellious classics such as ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ - Nirvana, ‘Ready or Not’ - Scala & Kolacny Brothers, ‘Eye of the Tiger’ - Tommee Profitt & Fjora, ‘Figure It Out ‘- Royal Blood and ‘Survivor’ - 2WEI feat Edda Hayes .
Stagecoach Stirling students, aged 8-17 years old, were thrilled to tread the theatre’s famous boards to entertain friends and family as they had a taste of West End stardom.
Stagecoach Performing Arts Stirling Principal, Carris Donaldson says:
"For the children to be able to perform at the Shaftesbury Theatre is a dream come true, whether they dream of being West End stars or they dance, sing and act for fun. Performances like this are a huge confidence booster and there is a great sense of camaraderie amongst the pupils."
