Theatre Workout has partnered with Jamie Wilson Productions to launch the official workshops for Mrs. Doubtfire and Sister Act.
Theatre Workout, the leading producer of theatre workshops in London's West End, is delighted to partner with Jamie Wilson Productions to offer two, new, official workshop programmes for educational group audiences for two amazing productions.
Adam Milford, Theatre Workout's founder and Director said:
"The majority of schools in the UK do not teach Drama as part of their core curriculum, denying children and young people the opportunity to experience everything the subject has to offer. This is due to a lack of arts education funding, the sidelining of the subject on the National Curriculum, and a shortage of specialist teachers, which has resulted in a rapid decline in Drama GCSE and A-Level enrolment in the past 30 years.
However, most schools recognise the value Drama and Theatre offers, and want their students to get some form of engagement with the subject. Theatre Workout meets that need, providing tailored workshops and facilitating school theatre trips. These new workshops create more opportunities for schools to engage with professionals and learn about theatre, along with the story and characters in these two, great shows!"
About MRS. DOUBTFIRE
MRS. DOUBTFIRE is playing at the Shaftesbury Theatre, and is currently booking until the end of September 2024. It is the West End's hit comedy musical based on the beloved film. This ‘genuinely funny' (Time Out) show now playing at London's Shaftesbury Theatre is ‘a complete joy’ (The Telegraph). The Times says it ‘soars from screen to stage’ and City AM hails MRS. DOUBTFIRE as 'funny, heart-warming and wildly entertaining!'
Out-of-work actor Daniel will do anything for his kids. After losing custody in a messy divorce, he creates the alter ego of Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a desperate attempt to stay in their lives. As his new character takes on a life of its own, Mrs. Doubtfire teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father.
MRS. DOUBTFIRE features all the hilarious moments you love from the movie, plus fabulous new songs and dazzling dance numbers! Put it all together, and you've got a 'surefire hit' (The Telegraph, Daily Express) that can't be missed.
Theatre Workout's Official Mrs. Doubtfire workshop explores the characters and story of the show through performance techniques used on stage, helping them gain a greater understanding of the production, and of the processes actors go through every day, particularly the roles of the children in the production.

About SISTER ACT
SISTER ACT is playing at the Dominion Theatre until the end of August, 2024. It stars Olivier Award-winner and Soul Sensation Beverley Knight as disco diva-in-disguise Deloris van Cartier, and star and co-creator of Gavin and Stacey Ruth Jones as Mother Superior.
Based on the beloved film and featuring a marvellous Motown-inspired score by Tony® and 8-time Oscar® winner Alan Menken, this story of music, mishaps and nuns on the run is a joyous and uplifting tale of finding your voice and singing out, with your sisters by your side.
With drama and musical theatre workshops available, Theatre Workout's Official Sister Act workshops offer a unique opportunity for schools to step into the Sisters' shoes, raise their voice and sing!
