Each year, our Centre of Excellence for Performing Arts students wow audiences with their very own theatre shows, musicals and dance productions at the Cronton Playhouse and other venues across the region.
Tickets & Upcoming Shows:
A Christmas Carol
Broadway heavy hitters Alan Menken (Beauty And The Beast, The Little Mermaid, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Little Shop Of Horrors) and Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime, Seussical, Once On This Island) breathe fantastic new life into the classic tale of A Christmas Carol. This is a spectacular adaptation of Charles Dickens’s most well-known story. Proving its staying power with a decade long run in New York, A Christmas Carol is an ideal choice for anyone hoping to get into the Christmas spirit!

PTP Presents: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
PTP Year 2 present Shakespeare’s much loved comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream – the perfect antidote to dark evenings, raging storms and way too much rain.
Set in the fictional world of 90’s Sitcoms our production leans heavily into the fun and laughs of this ridiculous play. Some come with us and take a nostalgic, last-century trip to New York and meet the lovers, fools and fairies that inhabit Central Park on a magical midsummer night.

Dancing Through The Decades
Dancing through the decades is in exploration of dance over the last 100 years. Our Level 3 students have investigated how dance has evolved through time as well as how cultural, social and political factors have had impact on dance. This exciting piece of work is collaboration of ideas which takes you on an emotional journey of the past and present. Our Level 3 dancers have had the opportunity to work with industry practitioners during this project which has allowed them gain insight into the professional world. Sit back, relax and let us take you on journey through dance.
