Top Hat Stage School Midlands, managed by Joe, is Telford's go-to spot for drama, dance, and theatre training. Running weekend schools for 27 years, it's the region’s longest-lasting part-time stage school.
During the school term, Joe organises sessions split by age. Little ones aged 4-5 get their start in the 2-hour Tiny Toppers class, while kids 6 and up join the 3-hour Top Hatters session. This age-based grouping ensures everyone gets the right level of challenge and keeps classes manageable.
Joe's all about creating a welcoming vibe where every kid can shine. He encourages parents to share their thoughts with the teachers or directly with him, valuing feedback from both students and families.
Top Hat’s teaching team is top-notch. Each instructor is a seasoned pro from West End shows, telly, or films. CRB checks and a first aider on-site mean safety's a priority.
Joe also runs the Top Talent Agency, helping stage school students step up to castings and auditions. Many have landed gigs in TV, films, theatre, commercials, and modelling.
Uniforms are a big deal here. Joe suggests students wear the Top Hat gear, available at fair prices, to keep things professional, especially when casting directors pop in.
With multiple locations around the Midlands and over 27 years in the game, Joe's Top Hat Stage School Midlands is a trusted spot for kids to grow in performing arts while making new mates.
