TRSPA
Curtain calls for
youngsters to open
up imaginations
Getting up on stage and singing and
dancing in front of a room full of
people may not be everyone’s cup
of tea. But for little ones who have a
theatrical flair, drama classes might
be just the ticket.
Lincoln’s Theatre School of Performing Arts, or TRSPA for
short, has been running for 16 years and offers fun, family
friendly and informal sessions, all under the watchful eye
of seasoned acting professional and group manager Anne
Rachel MacLachlan (51).
With a varied and distinguished acting career, Anne and her
troupe of trusty TRSPA trainers welcome youngsters from
the tender age of three, to come along, have a sing and a
dance and make new friends.
“The school was formed to provide a safe, fun, accessible
and high quality creative theatrical and performance
experience for local children, and to nurture budding talent,”
said Anne, who’s previous experiences include a number of
stage, screen and dancing roles.
“Classes involve learning dance, singing, acting and mime
skills, which in turn unlock children’s imaginations and help
develop communication and confidence skills, as well as
allowing them to have lots of fun and encourage fitness
along the way.”
The school is managed by Anne, but owned by Lincolnbased
entertainment boss Chris Moreno, who’s written,
produced and directed a host of theatre shows across the
world.
TRSPA runs classes in two age categories - one for children
aged three to eight - the other for youngsters aged eight
to 19. Participants do not need to audition for a place, all
adding to the inclusive and non-selective style of learning.
