A new student led company The Glass Umbrella Theatre Company has launched at SERC with the Broadway classic “A Chorus Line” by Michael Bennett.
The Glass Umbrella Theatre Company was created through collaboration of lecturers and Higher National Diploma students with guidance from business mentor Adrian Power of Power Advertising, and Enteprise Champion Corrine Courtney-Lee.
By working for The Glass Umbrella as part of their studies, Performing Arts students are given essential and desired skills needed for a professional theatre company within the industry. These range from working as a performer, to stage management, marketing and sound or lighting technicians. The Glass Umbrella also offers an Alumni programme and will be inviting previous students back to mentor the theatre company in their area of expertise.
With a Samuel Beckett showcase already in the rehearsal stages for the coming months, The Glass Umbrella Theatre Company is going from strength to strength and will continue to do so for many years to come.
