The workshop is designed to strengthen students performance skills and abilities while getting a chance to perform with the West End star on stage during a live concert in their local community.

"These are the stars of tomorrow, but it is today they have to be on stage" he says. "These workshops give them a fantastic opportunity to test the waters and broaden their horizons. Whether they go into the arts as profession or just sing for fun, theatre will give them valuable skills, such as patience, humility, and work ethic which they'll use for the rest of their life", says Karrie.

The two act, 2.5 hour performance will feature numbers from The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Chess, Jesus Christ Superstar, Lion King, Aspects of Love, Little Shop of Horrors, and many more. "Everyone who enjoys musical theater will enjoy this concert as it is a comprehensive selection of some of the greatest musical compositions ever written plus some amusing anecdotal tales to accompany the actual performances, " boasts Karrie.
