Stagecoach Performing Arts continue to experience a phenomenal rate of growth across Germany, as entrepreneurs launch the children’s performing arts programme in Berlin, with plans for further expansion before the year is out. In celebration of a momentous 12 months ‘in showbusiness’, franchisees around the nation hosted a one-of-a-kind performance.
As part of the ninth annual showcase, 225 children from schools across Hessen, Cologne, Frankfurt, Mainz, Darmstadt and Munich took part in a professional performance in the Hessisches Staatstheater at the Kurhaus, in Wiesbaden. Students aged 4-18 joined other children from their respective schools on stage, performing famous musical numbers in front of family and friends.
Andrew Walters, Director of International Business Development at Stagecoach Performing Arts, takes great pride in being able to offer students around the world the opportunity to partake in such large-scale performances.
“We’re all about encouraging our students to get the most out of their weekly classes but we’re incredibly excited to be able to offer these once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to children across the world too. The atmosphere on the evening was electric – we received incredible feedback from both parents and students. Thank you to all who came along on the evening and to all the students for putting on an incredible show.”
The team behind the imminent launch of Stagecoach Performing Arts Berlin-Mitte, Johannes Mock-O'Hara, David O'Hara and Perrin Manzer Allen, attended the showcase in support of their fellow franchisees. They are looking forward to welcoming students in the Autumn term.
“Although my background has been predominantly in managing internationally-recognised visitor attractions and theatrical performances, this new endeavour is something I feel particularly passionate about because Stagecoach makes a real impact on a more personal level,” explained Johannes. “Stagecoach is more than just a leisure activity for children. It teaches confidence, social skills and gives a whole generation of performance-lovers a place to meet and have fun.”
Stagecoach Performing Arts Berlin-Mitte will officially open its doors to students, at the historical site of Phorms Campus in central Berlin, on Saturday 14th September.

About Stagecoach Performing Arts: Over the years we have seen more than one million students unlock their potential, which is something they will value for their whole life. At Stagecoach we teach our students so much more than how to sing, dance and act. We help them blossom into well-rounded individuals, ready to embrace life and all its opportunities. With nearly 30 years’ experience in teaching the performing arts, we understand how to get the best out of our young performers. We delight in seeing our students have fun, make friends, learn new skills and discover hidden talents. We encourage them to take ‘safe risks’ through rehearsals and performance, which brings out a willingness to take on new challenges. None of us know what the future holds, which is why it’s so important for today’s children to be resilient, brave and self-assured. Furthermore you can rest assured that your child is in safe hands as we adhere to the strictest child safety policies. About joining Stagecoach as a franchisee: With our 30th birthday in 2018, the Stagecoach model has been proven and refined to become one of the UK’s leading performing arts opportunities. Franchisees build a team of equally passionate and enthusiastic teachers, qualified to bring out the very best in their students. Stagecoach schools provide a thriving, nurturing and supportive environment for creative learning. That’s just one of the reasons why 40,000 children every week flock to classes nationwide. Today, a network of more than 300 franchisees operate over 680 schools offering 1,780 classes in eight countries. Through an exciting and varied framework of teaching and development, franchisees have helped to unlock the potential of more than one million students since it opened in 1988.
