From About Us – YSBD Theatre Academy:

YSBD Theatre Academy is run by professional performers who have been, and are currently in the business, allowing the students to have a modern and current approach to the profession.

Our job is to encourage children’s creativity, self esteem and confidence whilst having lots of fun.

It is a highly enjoyable opportunity for children to learn and expand their knowledge in the profession with handy tips to really give them that star quality. We are honoured to have the support from performers in the WEST END and beyond allowing us to bring that real ‘West End Experience’ to our students in Cheshire.

Every child is unique so whether you want to continue in the performing arts, or are just here to have fun, our classes are for everyone. We encourage and support each child to reach their full potential in a happy, creative and positive environment. Our classes vary to suit a wide ranges of ages so please see our timetable and class descriptions to find the best one for you.

If our students are interested in becoming professional performers, we will nurture their individual talents and provide them with the knowledge they need to succeed in the business. As teachers who have worked in the industry, we can offer the best advice, allowing children to be one step ahead of the current competition.

Our agency, exclusive to YSBD Theatre Academy, gives students the chance to audition for suitable roles in Theatre, TV and Film. We offer guidance to children who are called in by casting directors for West End and UK tour productions and also seniors auditioning for dance colleges. We help to polish the final touches on those important audition pieces to impress the panel when the time comes. Private lessons are also available with our teachers.

If you are looking for an Academy where you can have lots of fun and laughs then YSBD Theatre Academy is the right place for you. You can express your individuality and bring out your own personality, singing and dancing to become the star that you are.


On December 14 and 15, 2024, Paul McCartney performed two back-to-back nights at Manchester’s Co-op Live, the new indoor arena inaugurated in May 2024.

For the two dates, “Wonderful Christmastime” was added to the setlist, and Paul and the band were joined by a children choir, the YSBD Theatre Academy.


The news is out…. This weekend we’re performing at @thecooplive with SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY! It truly is a WONDERUL CHRISTMASTIME!

Where to even begin? I am so proud of our YSBD family who performed with @paulmccartney at @thecooplive last night.

What a way to celebrate our 10year Anniversary!

Watching them onstage with such a wonderful, kind and inspirational musical legend was truly a moment I will never forget. Sir Paul you have given us the best Christmas present we could have ever asked for. Seeing their faces light up and the excitement they had the entire evening will be a moment I will treasure forever. From the bottom of my heart thank you.

We simply had a Wonderful Christmastime and cannot wait to do it all again tonight!

When your musical director and singing teacher is a Fairy Godmother.

We want to take the time to say the BIGGEST thank you to our incredible teacher KATHRYN.
This term she has created absolute magic in her classes preparing our Main school students for their Christmas concerts at St Mary’s Church and rehearsing our choir to perform with Paul McCartney at The Co-Op Live.

It takes someone truly special to nurture, inspire and support our students and this is 100% Kathryn.
We are so grateful for her extensive knowledge and expertise and couldn’t do it without her.

KATHRYN THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
