SUMMER  COURSES

Expand your horizons! Learn New Theatre-Making Skills, Meet New People!

"Massive shout out to the incredible talents of Fran Godsal whose Small But Mighty Theatre is just so inspiring - this brilliant band of 11-16 year olds put on an original musical in a week. They were so fantastic! I cried! And all happening in Eynsham, we are so lucky"


Last Summer we created a bespoke play in a week project for young actors from the 7th-11th August. 

the Young People created an incredible project, of horror and mystery, inspired by Sophie Mckintosh's short story, The Bucket

When a woman becomes suspicious of her son and his cousins, after they collect a mysterious object at the beach and start behaving very strangely...

Children from different schools and different parts of Oxfordshire came together to present what was a genuinely gripping tale...

In 2021 We created a juke box musical about Music and Memory inspired by a beautiful song by The Unthanks and Molly Drake called 'What Can a Song Do To You'

These courses are for 11-16 year olds. There are no auditions but we do require applicants to fill in an application form to find out about all their skills!

OUR NEXT HOLIDAY COURSES WILL BE PROVISIONALLY DURING THE  SUMMER HOLIDAY OF 2025.

PLAY IN A WEEK- DEVISE A MUSICAL

 August 2021

This Summer students worked with experienced deviser and director Fran Godsal, and Susan Glaisher of Vox Box and Oxford Opera, to create a musical based on the idea of Music and Memory.

Taking inspiration from recorded interviews and a huge range of sources, the group developed an entirely unique performance that explored how music taps into our deepest emotions and associations. From memories of the Hallelujah chorus in the Albert Hall to a Sheffield Wednesday match, from grandpas winning rock n' roll dancing contests, to mums doing breakdancing routines, from memories of the first song your mum sang to you, to misheard lyrics and eagworms that drive you mad.

An excellent cast worked hard and played hard to make a poignant and hilarious performance.

The audience feedback speaks for itself.
