"WATS has been my family since I was 10…they [have] increased both my confidence and love for the arts and created the most loving and supportive environment I could ever ask for." Caitlin Steele, playing Snowboy in ‘West Side Story’
Last November, WATS performed a celebratory show, ‘A Night of Musicals’. Old and new members joined together to mark the 10 year anniversary of the theatre school. Company Owner and Director, Megan Jones, opened the school whilst studying at university; over the years it has grown immensely and now has over 100 members. Due to such success, the company recently split into two halves: with the Juniors ranging from age 5 to 11, and the Seniors from age 12 to 21. During the last weekend of January, the Juniors performed two spectacular sold-out showings of Roald Dahl’s ‘Matilda JR’. This weekend, the Seniors are taking on the sensational Sondheim classic ‘West Side Story’. Based upon the story of 'Romeo and Juliet', book tickets now to see the story of two rival gangs and one forbidden love unravel on the stage of The Core at Corby Cube.
