About M3 Studios - Bringing the West End
to the West Midlands
M3 Studios is the West Midlands leading part-time theatre school,
we teach 3 – 18 year olds to be triple threats who can Act, Sing and Dance!
We offer a two week paid trial session to every child. Due to high demand, places are limited and offered following an enquiry and trial process.
M3 Studios opened it’s doors in November 2014, and has been bringing the West End to the West Midlands. M3 Studios has over 700 pupils across it’s branches. We have expanded our reach across Cannock, Burntwood, Rugeley, Wolverhampton, Walsall and Telford.
Classes at M3 Studios have the perfect combination of learning new skills, building your child’s confidence and igniting their talent while having lots of fun! Our School is like one big family, where students feel supported and encouraged. We take pride in the fact that we offer multiple performance opportunities per annum at local Theatres among various other presentations/festivals throughout the year as we feel that performance is such a vital and positive part of a child’s learning.
We take a more professional approach towards teaching our students how to Act, Sing and Dance, and our teacher’s draw from their direct experience in the industry, many of them still working within the profession. Ultimately our aim is to help nurture talent in those that may want to pursue Musical Theatre as a career in future, but also to help build confidence in others, sending them into the adult world with creative courage.
Please feel free to look around our website to see the wide variety of classes that are on offer.
