On Sunday 12th November, at 5.00pm, we are thrilled to be launching a new event, ‘AnEvening of Song’, celebrating the talent of our musical theatre students.

The evening will also feature performances from our private LAMDA & vocal students and all of the above will be accompanied by our school’s Musical Director, Adam Tuffrey.
Tickets are only £10 and will be available to purchase prior to the event, on Sunday 15th October at 10.00am. Further details about the venue & timings on the day will be released nearer the time. We can’t wait to share with you all the talent here at JLDA – it’s a definitely a date to keep free in your diary!
