Rehearsals are in full swing as Razzamataz prepare for their biggest public performance to date…

On Saturday 19th December, students from Razzamataz Durham Theatre School will be performing a selection of favourite Christmas songs to entertain shoppers in Durham City Centre. Alison Beveridge, Principal of the school, says: “We’re delighted to have the opportunity to bring some magic to the city and get involved with our local community this Christmas.”

“Our students just love performing, and the chance to showcase their talents and hard work in a public setting is really exciting.”

At Razzamataz Durham Theatre School, we offer dance, drama and singing classes for children aged 2-18 years (and much, much more). We like to go the extra mile and give our students amazing customer service, and an amazing experience.

This year sees the return of our popular Christmas Card Competition. The school are running a competition for students to create their own Razzamataz greetings card. The winning design will be professionally printed and sent to the theatre school’s friends, partner businesses, and those who have worked with them over the past year. Last year’s winner, Molly says, “It was great to get involved and so cool to see my design come to life.”

Parents are carers are also catered for. Last month, the school hosted a Phoenix Cards Coffee Morning and raised £99.22 for The Rainbow Trust Charity. Families and friends were invited to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee and a slice of homemade cake while they browsed the catalogues of exclusive cards and stationery whilst their children were in class.

Suzy Blooms, a Razzamataz parent and professional florist, is hosting a Christmas Basket Arrangement Workshop for parents and carers to take part in. She says: “I think it’s wonderful that Razzamataz Durham cares for the whole family. It’s a great community to belong to as the team really have their students and parents’ best interests at heart. Since joining, my son has grown in confidence, developed new skills, and widened his friendship group.”
