With eight incredible troupes taking to the stage, the atmosphere was nothing short of electric. From powerful solos and high-energy dance numbers to heartfelt ensemble pieces, the talent on show wowed the audience and made it a day to remember for everyone involved.

Thank you to all the performers, teachers, parents, and crew for making this summer one to remember. You’re what makes Perform Ready truly special.

We were delighted to host our third Perform Ready event at Indigo 02 on March 30, celebrating the exceptional talent of students from theatre schools across the UK. The evening was filled with energy, featuring standout solo performances from Milly, Jago, Phoebe and Scarlett that truly captivated the audience.

Looking ahead, we are excited to announce our next major event at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre on June 8 and 13. This upcoming showcase will welcome 30 performing arts schools to the stage, offering even more opportunities for young performers to shine.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to create platforms for the next generation of performing arts stars.

In addition to these spectacular performances, we hosted 15 industry days and weeks across the UK. These events focused on developing unique skills in screen acting, musical theatre, and audition techniques, while also scouting fresh talent for our affiliate agencies.

And we’re just getting started! Next year promises to be even more exciting, with more events at The Indigo, two dates at Regents Park, and the highly anticipated launch of our exclusive show, Big Stars Little Stars. This incredible production will bring together selected young performers and choirs to perform alongside our Big Stars lineup!

The event showcased dazzling performances from a variety of schools, including standout numbers from Cabaret, Legally Blonde, and Mean Girls. Adding to the magic were breathtaking solo performances by the finalists of the Kerry Ellis Search for a Star competition, who left the audience in awe.

The grand finale brought all 300+ performers together for a show-stopping number, raising the roof and leaving an unforgettable impression on everyone in attendance.

This marks the second Perform Ready event at the Indigo, with anticipation already building for the third, set to take place on Sunday, 30th March 2025.

The workshop, designed to nurture emerging talent, brought together two industry powerhouses: Claire Cassidy and Jodie Oliver-Hoar.

Claire Cassidy, a highly regarded instructor and a familiar face on the Audition Ready app, led participants through dynamic dance sessions, recalls, and callback exercises. Known for her expert guidance, Claire’s teaching sessions—available on the app—continue to inspire performers at every stage of their journey. Her presence added both professionalism and energy to the event.

Joining Claire was Jodie Oliver-Hoar, whose expertise perfectly complemented the day’s theme. Together, the duo delivered an immersive “In the Style of Matilda” workshop, combining movement, performance techniques, and insider tips. Attendees left with sharpened skills, boosted confidence, and a deeper appreciation for performing in the style of the iconic musical.

Audition Ready’s Matilda Day was a resounding success, ensuring the next wave of performers is more prepared than ever to shine at auditions and one stage

The day was packed with specially tailored workshops designed to educate and prepare young talents to be screen-ready. From the basics of acting to the nuances of camera work, each session was crafted to provide valuable insights into the entertainment industry. What made the day even more special was the involvement of Vicky Binns, famed for her roles in beloved TV shows like Coronation Street and Emmerdale. Vicky brought her wealth of experience to the table, hosting some of the workshops and sharing tips and tricks that only a seasoned actress could offer.
