About Us

 

Academy was started in January 2014 (Previously named Acting Academy) as the youth section of Romiley Little Theatre. In 2016, Academy became independent of RLT but still remains in partnership, providing young members for the future of this well established community theatre group. Sessions are led by exceptional industry standard practitioners & we believe, the disciplines we've chosen have the best impact on our students movement, communication and teamwork skills and brings a special creative energy to our productions.

Partner Associates

 

Our partner by association is a community theatre company called Romiley Little Theatre. Our own founder Adam Urey started his first theatre explorations with them and both companies continue to support each other's theatrical ventures. Academy often collaborate with RLT on joint productions. The group is full of talent and consistently produce community theatre of the highest standard. When signing up to Academy, our members automatically become members of RLT. If you are an adult, looking to tread the boards, work in areas of stage management such as set building, lighting or sound or even just want to be involved with the community and their frequent social events, they are always looking for members.
