Masterclasses and workshops
At Performers Theatre Company, our vision includes giving young people meaningful opportunities to learn from industry professionals through workshops and masterclasses. We believe it’s incredibly valuable for children - whether they are enrolled with us or not - to experience working with experts who bring diverse backgrounds, ideas, and skills beyond those of our in-house teaching team. These experiences spark excitement, inspire creativity, and broaden their horizons.
Throughout the academic year, Performers will offer a range of workshops and masterclasses open to all children, regardless of enrolment.

Stranger Things: Welcome to the Upside Down Workshop
On Saturday 13th June 2026, grab your bike, your best friends, and your bravery! Welcome to the Upside Down is a fun, high-energy acting workshop inspired by the world of Stranger Things. This workshop invites actors from 12 upwards to jump into scenes filled with mystery, friendship, danger, and big emotions (sometimes all at once!).
Through scene work, games, and group exercises, students will explore what it’s like to act scared without actually being scared, react to imaginary monsters, and support their scene partners like a true Hawkins crew. The focus is on confidence, creativity, and teamwork while having a blast.
Participants will work on:
-
Expressing fear, excitement, and courage in a believable way
-
Reacting to surprises and the “unknown”
-
Building strong friendships and rivalries onstage
-
Staying grounded and real in over-the-top situations
Perfect for young actors who love storytelling, adventure, and ensemble acting and are OBSESSED with the Stranger Things universe. No acting experience required - just imagination, energy, and a willingness to step into the strange.

Time: 2-4pm
Venue: Park Community School, Havant PO9 4BU
