Based in Sale, Manchester, our professionally trained teachers deliver high-quality training in musical theatre, singing, acting for stage and screen, and dance. We combine professional industry standards with a welcoming atmosphere where every student feels encouraged, valued and celebrated.

We believe learning should be inspiring, challenging and, above all, fun.

At Vivacity, we're proud to offer exceptional training without the high costs often associated with large theatre school franchises. We focus on nurturing every individual, helping each student discover their own unique strengths while creating friendships and memories that last a lifetime.

Whether you're stepping into a theatre for the very first time or working towards a future in the performing arts industry, we'd love to welcome you to the Vivacity family.

At Vivacity School of Theatre, our students are taught by professionally trained performers who have graduated from some of the UK's leading drama schools. Every class combines expert training with a fun, supportive atmosphere where every child is encouraged to grow in confidence and develop their own unique talents.

Alongside our regular classes, we're proud to offer exclusive masterclasses with professionals currently working across West End productions, television, film and commercial projects. These workshops give our students a real insight into the performing arts industry and the opportunity to learn directly from people building successful careers in the profession.

We've welcomed guest artists with credits including Netflix, BBC, ITV, Sky, as well as some of the West End's biggest productions, including Six, Hamilton, Aladdin and Waitress. These inspiring sessions help students discover what's possible while learning new skills from those working in the industry today.

At Vivacity, we believe professional opportunities shouldn't be reserved for a select few. Every student has the chance to learn, grow and be inspired by experienced performers in an environment where they feel supported every step of the way.

Vivacity School of Theatre is proud to work in partnership with primary and secondary schools across Greater Manchester, delivering engaging and inspiring performing arts experiences for children of all ages.

We offer a range of school-based programmes, including one-to-one LAMDA tuition, singing lessons, after-school drama clubs, musical theatre clubs, dance clubs, workshops and holiday activities. Every session is designed to build confidence, encourage creativity and help children develop valuable communication, teamwork and performance skills in a fun and supportive environment.

Our workshops and clubs are led by professionally trained performers with real industry experience, giving pupils the opportunity to learn from teachers who are passionate about both performing and education. Whether children are stepping onto the stage for the first time or already love to perform, we create an inclusive environment where every child feels encouraged to take part and grow in confidence.

We work closely with each school to create programmes that suit the needs of their pupils, ensuring every child has the opportunity to express themselves, develop new skills and experience the joy of performing arts.
