MUSICAL THEATRE MASTERCLASSES
Why scramble from acting training to singing lessons to dance classes, when you can get all three in one high-quality intensive program?
CIA Musical Theatre Masterclasses will be your one-stop shop for performance excellence.
MUSICAL THEATRE MASTERCLASS 3 (all ages)
Our third Masterclass will have a special twist, as the focus will be preparing students to audition for our January 2025 Holiday Workshop production, School of Rock!
This will be a 2-week Masterclass (6 hours in total) in which students practise and fine-tune their Holiday Workshop audition pieces, benefiting from coaching and detailed feedback from expert teachers. The two classes are designed to give them the best chance to excel in their audition.
Please note, however, this Masterclass is not compulsory for those wanting to be in School of Rock. Students can still enrol in and audition for the musical without attending Masterclass 3.
On the other hand, students don’t have to be taking part in School of Rock to join this Masterclass! Everyone will learn valuable skills and techniques as they work on monologues, songs and choreography from the hilarious smash-hit musical, School of Rock.
For Masterclass 3, our team of theatre experts will once again include director Tim Hill, singer and vocal coach Stephanie Taylor, and master choreographer Natalia Hines. This trio will also be the creative team behind the Holiday Workshop in January.
Masterclass 3 is open to students of all ages. Classes will take place at West End’s Thomas Dixon Centre across 2 weeks in October – before Holiday Workshop auditions begin the following week.

MUSICAL THEATRE HOLIDAY WORKSHOP – 13-18th JANUARY 2025
The secret is out! We are thrilled to announce that our January 2025 Holiday Workshop show is… School of Rock!
This rip-roaring, hilarious musical, based on the hit film starring Jack Black, has been described as “Matilda meets AC/DC”. It’s the perfect choice to feature the talents of CIA performers in every age group.
After out-of-work musician Dewey Finn fakes his way into a job as a substitute teacher, he decides to transform his class of private school kids into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping rock band. But his students will have to face up to an uptight principal, overbearing parents, and their own insecurities, if they want to win first place in the Battle of the Bands!
Led by NIDA-trained director Tim Hill, this Holiday Workshop will take students on a 6-day journey from page to stage, as they receive incredible acting, singing and dancing tuition from theatre experts at West End’s Thomas Dixon Centre. The experience will culminate in two performances in the state-of-the-art Talbot Theatre on Saturday 18th January.
Performers of all ages will love this one-of-a-kind musical theatre experience.
Auditions take place on 27th October and 3rd November. Then join us in January and get ready to rock!
