“It would be hard to find another children’s Drama Group in Plymouth with cheaper fees than ours” says Mike Potterton, founder of Starlines Drama School.
“We opened twelve years ago and have since catered for hundreds of children across the city”.
Starlines was set up in St Budeaux with the specific intention of providing Drama sessions and productions at a fraction of the cost of other similar companies.
“I hoped this would encourage children who would not otherwise have the opportunity to get involved. We currently charge only £4 per session with any extra rehearsals free of charge. We offer everything that the larger companies offer, we just charge a lot less for it!” adds Mike.
Operating on Saturdays from St Pauls School in St Budeaux Starlines has produced many shows including Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Peter Pan, Annie, The Pirates of the Curry Bean, Olivia, Ye Ha, The Show of Shows and Bugsy Malone (which they are currently rehearsing). They also offer subsidised trips to see professional shows at Plymouth Theatre Royal.
“Starlines caters for children and young people ranging in age from about eight to fourteen” says Mike.
“We do not separate into ages so the children all work together. This is great for the older children, who look out for the younger ones and makes for a happy, supportive atmosphere. There is no experience necessary and at present we have children coming to us from all over Plymouth”.
