Performance Opportunities at Theale Green School
There are so many performance opportunities at Theale Green School. From the annual musical production to our touring shows, we offer students the opportunity to really develop their performance and teamwork skills. We give our students experiences that no other school in the area does; the opportunity to perform in professional touring and outdoor venues gives students a taste of the world of work, provides them with a thrilling and fun experience and enables them to look forward to an exciting future.
Our musical productions give our students the opportunity to develop their acting, dancing and singing skills. You could also join the school band who, as well as accompanying our performers in the school musicals also form the backbone of our excellent Carol Concerts every year.

We are delighted to invite students from primary schools to our shows every year. Our matinee shows are always packed to the rafters! Sometimes we visit the primary schools too, as we did in 2018 when we took The Comic Mystery Plays to Englefield Primary School, Southcote Primary School and Pangbourne Primary School. We look forward to doing this again with our next production.
Each year in October the students take over the hall for an evening of drama, dance, music and food in the Black History Show. We have been celebrating Black History with this event for over ten years it is always an absolute delight!
We also give our students in Year 7 the opportunity to perform together in a production that takes place all over the school! The Mystery Plays have been part of the school calendar since 2006 and have focused variously on bible stories, the lives of scientists and now literary classics. Each drama class takes on a different short play which the audience discover as they wander the school site.
Our sixth form students also perform an exciting piece every year at the Battle Library in Reading. A Winter Haunt is a celebration of local history as you meet characters from the past whilst you wander the library. It is a delightful Christmas treat!

At the start of each year students are given a “Performance Card”. This is like a loyalty card that is stamped when you attend a performance. For every stamp you get 5 house points and if you get 6 stamps or more your name is entered into a prize draw!
We really look forward to welcoming you to our shows as performers or as audience members. Come and join the fun!
