Some of our Plumstead Stage School students are performing at Church of Christ the King, Lakedale Road, Plumstead this Saturday the 27th. The Church has undergone a lot of building work recently and our stage school students have seen the progress each week and so we have been invited to perform at their celebration party.

Plans are well underway with Trust Thamesmead for our proposed move to new purpose built Dance studios and performance space. These will be in Thamesmead under the big flyover (same location as the Cave Climbing Wall). The whole arch section is being redesigned and Theatre Street will house one of the arches.
