Performances

Performances give our students the opportunity to put their learning into practice across a range of performance styles. This gives them the opportunity to demonstrate how far they've come in their training in front of a live audience. 

All our performances are supported by our Technical Theatre and Design for Performance students, who undertake lighting design and operation, sound technology, set design and creation, costume and props making and management, as well as front of house duties. Without them, and their skills and technical knowledge, our performances couldn’t go on.

Here are some images from some of our recent performances.

Sister Act

Sister Act is the feel-amazing musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film that has audiences jumping to their feet! Our second year Musical Theatre students put on an amazing show as they made their final appearances at LIPA Sixth Form College.

Taking place at The Cavern, this was the first external showcase of LIPA Sixth Form College's Year 1 Music students. A night filled with new material and concepts chosen by the students themselves, in their bands for project 3.

The Big I Am

Our 2nd year Actors brought to life this modem take on Henrik Ibsen’s classic play, journeying from wartime Britain to the ends of the earth and beyond - a life flashing before your very eyes. The performances were managed and run by the Technical Theatre and Design students who were responsible for all the technical and design elements of the production.
