Musical Theatre
Following the recent successful Musical Theatre days, we are continuing to expand our Musical Theatre offering with another whole weekend in 2026! Competitive and non-competitive classes and workshops open to all ages and abilities will take place on Saturday 28th February and Sunday 1st March 2026.
We will once again have workshops from West End performers.
All large and small group entries are FREE and all solos, duets, trios and quartet entries have 25% off the entry fees if completed by 1st December 2025.
Whether you prefer a solo, duet, trio, quartet or larger group number, the Musical Theatre day has something for everyone! With both competitive and non-competitive opportunities to perform and workshops combining singing, acting and movement for all ages and abilities (including adults!), this day promises to be a joyous celebration of the abundance of local musical theatre talent. Whether you are a keen beginner or an experienced 'triple threat', we would love to see and hear you perform!
The above link to the syllabus is where you can find all the information you will need about the musical theate day. However, this is only musical theatre sections. If you want to find out more about other opportunities in music, drama, poetry, prose or original work, the full festival syllabus can be found here. We'd love to see you at some of the other days too!
​We do not believe any enthusiastic performer should miss out on WCAF because of financial concerns or additional needs. We want to make taking part as easy as possible and to ensure we include everyone who wants to take part. Please contact admin@wcaf.org.uk to discuss any accessibility requirements or to discover more about free places.
There are several special classes that musical theatre performers may also wish to enter:
-
More advanced performers may wish to enter the William Lewis Recital class. Entrants to this class should prepare a 15-minute recital of 2 or more contrasting pieces.
-
The Marian Baker memorial class is another recital class for which a minimum standard of Grade 6 on two contrasting pieces is required.
-
The Sproule class is for performers up to the age of 15. Entrants must perform a poem or an acted scene AND a song or a piece of music on any instrument.
