Taunton Brewhouse is bringing back its popular musical theatre summer school – and this time, there’s a very special guest!
West End star Monique Ashe-Palmer, who has a wealth of experience and knowledge, will be leading this year’s course.
Her theatre credits include Standing at the Sky’s Edge (The Gillian Lynne Theatre), SIX (Vaudeville Theatre), Madagascar the Musical (UK tour) and Waitress (UK tour). She has also worked on seasonal campaigns for top brands including Boots and Matalan. 
Over five fun-filled days, aspiring performers aged 13-19 years will work alongside Monique on an array of theatre pieces, before performing to family and friends as part of a sharing in the studio theatre.
The week-long course will enable participants to express their creativity, make fabulous friendships, and develop show stopping skills that’ll have them stealing the spotlight.
Artistic Programmes and Youth Theatre Coordinator, Abbie Riddell, said: “We are thrilled to be joined by Monique for our Musical Theatre Summer School this year.
“It’s an exciting time for musical theatre in the UK, with new musicals engaging new audiences and creating a real buzz for the arts industry.
“For local young people to work with someone like Monique, who is currently in the West End cast of Standing at the Sky’s Edge, is an unmissable opportunity.”
The musical theatre summer school, which will run at Taunton Brewhouse from Monday, August 19 to Friday August 23, is delivered in collaboration with Rest End Ltd.
Rest End provides accessible, industry-led performing arts opportunities for schools, colleges, and theatre-loving individuals, including workshops, musical theatre parties, and private coaching.
