Celebrating a Decade of Transformative Performing Arts at Stage & the City

As we mark our 10th Anniversary at Stage & the City, founder and principal Anna Fiorentini had this to say:

 

“I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for the journey we’ve undertaken. Over the past decade, we’ve not only accumulated numerous awards that recognise our dedication to the performing arts, but we’ve also witnessed countless personal transformations that go far beyond the stage.

When I founded Stage & the City, my vision was simple: to create a space where adults could explore their creativity, build confidence, and most importantly, have fun. I never anticipated the profound impact this endeavor would have on the lives of so many individuals.

I have seen adults who joined our acting, singing, dance, and musical theatre courses with no prior experience, flourish into confident performers. More importantly, their newfound self-assurance has permeated other aspects of their lives. Social circles have expanded, friendships have blossomed, and some have even found new career paths—although this was never our primary intention.

The sense of community at Stage & the City is something truly special. Our students don’t just learn new skills; they become part of a family that shares experiences both on and off the stage. From lively parties and theatre trips to casual barbecues, the camaraderie here is palpable.

One of the most rewarding aspects of our journey has been our ability to give back. Thanks to the dedication and passion of our students, and the success of our courses, we have been able to support over 120 children through the Fiorentini Foundation. This foundation is close to my heart, and knowing that our work has such a tangible, positive impact on young lives is incredibly fulfilling.

As we prepare to kick off our next range of courses and start planning our 10th anniversary celebrations, I invite adults who are looking for a fun, creative outlet to join us. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a complete beginner, there’s a place for you at Stage & the City.

All our courses start back week beginning 20th January.

Here’s to the next decade of artistic brilliance and community spirit!”
