Inspiring Performances, Professional Opportunities
At GB Creative Academy, performance is at the heart of everything we do. We pride ourselves on producing high-quality musicals, pantomimes, and variety shows that give our students the chance to experience life on stage while entertaining audiences locally, nationally, and even internationally.
​
Our productions not only showcase the incredible talent of our students but also help them build confidence, teamwork, and professionalism — skills they carry into future education and careers.
Past Productions
GB Creative Academy has a proud history of staging high-quality productions that give our students the chance to perform in professional venues and bring much-loved stories to life on stage. Each show is an opportunity for our young performers to shine, develop their skills, and create unforgettable memories.
​
Highlights Include:
​
-
Moana – 2025, a vibrant production filled with energy, colour, and island magic.
-
Matilda – 2024, staged both in the UK and at the prestigious Auditorio Infanta Leonor in Tenerife
-

​
These productions not only showcase the talent of our students but also provide a platform to experience the excitement of working in a professional theatre setting.
Tenerife Vocational Trip
Each October, GB Creative Academy takes students on a vocational performance trip to Tenerife, combining training, live shows, and cultural experiences.
This annual highlight not only gives our young performers the chance to sing, dance, and act on international stages, but also supports an important cause.
​
Through our concerts and fundraising events in Tenerife, we raise money for underprivileged children on the island, ensuring that our performances make a real difference in the community.
​
The trip is both a once-in-a-lifetime performance opportunity and a powerful way for students to see how their talent can bring joy and support to others.
Showstoppers
One of GB Creative Academy’s most anticipated events, Showstoppers is our annual variety spectacular held at the Rotherham Civic Theatre. Bringing together performers of all ages, it showcases the incredible breadth of talent within the academy – from singers and dancers to actors and choirs.
​
Each year, the production features:
​
-
Full company numbers that bring the whole academy together on stage
-
Solo and small group performances giving students the chance to shine in their own spotlight
-
Guest choreography and workshops from industry professionals, including former West End performers
-
A mix of musical theatre favourites, pop anthems, and original routines, creating a fast-paced, entertaining show for all audiences
Pantomime
Pantomime has always been a highlight of our performance calendar, giving students of all ages the chance to take part in family favourites filled with music, comedy, and festive fun.
Our productions combine professional direction with the energy of our young performers, creating magical experiences for audiences year after year.
Summer Workshops
At GB Creative Academy, our Summer Workshops extend the training we deliver throughout the year, giving students the chance to immerse themselves in an intensive rehearsal process and experience the thrill of live performance.
​
Open to ages 6–18, each workshop blends singing, acting, and dance while reflecting the high standards and creative approach that define our academy.
Students work with our professional tutors to build skills, grow in confidence, and prepare for a fully staged performance in just a few days.
​
For many young people, our Summer Workshops are their first step into the world of GB Creative Academy — a chance to experience our training, join our community, and discover the joy of performing.
