It is that time of the year to recognise the hard work and dedication of some of our talented members of Next Stage Youth with the presentation of The Bridget Cassé Award for Excellence in Youth Theatre. The award was inaugurated in 2010, in memory of a talented Next Stage actress - Bridget Cassé - who was a much-loved Next Stage Youth tutor. The beautiful glass trophy is awarded in September to the individual in Next Stage Youth who has shown theatrical talent, enthusiasm, a willingness to help out and a positive attitude towards fellow members.

Next Stage Youth tutors who have worked with the group over the past twelve months nominate youthers for this prestigious award from which a Winner, a Runner-Up and a Highly Commended recipient are selected.

We are thrilled to announce that 2024 sees us with four recipients - Dara Tiernan is our winner, George Chivers and Ed Punt recieved our Runner-Up awards and Elspeth Geddis came Highly Commended.

Dara, our winner, is a friendly and enthusiastic character within Next Stage Youth who has worked diligently and grown as a performer since recieving the Runner-Up award in 2023, showing great promise as a young actress. Over the years Dara has been in a number of Next stage and Next Stage Youth shows. This year she also participated in The Mid-Somerset Festival, performing an excerpt from A Monster Calls in Group A of the under 19s Group Acting class. Most recently she shone in the role of the wicked Mrs Slighcarp in The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, where her laugh-a-minute performance impressed audiences.

George and Ed, our Runner-Ups for 2024, have both been members of Next Stage Youth for just over a year and have shown great promise and improvement in their acting skills and confidence throughout their time with us.

George first took the stage with NSY as Chino in West Side Story (2023) and has most recently played a trio of roles (Sir Willoughby, Mr Gripe and School Inspector) in The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.

Ed similarly joined us in 2023 and landed the role of Snowboy, one of the Jets in West Side Story, then moving on to help NSY secure the winner’s trophy in the Year 9-and-Under Group Acting Class at 2024’s Mid Somerset Drama Festival. Last week audiences saw him play the role of the cunning Mr Grimshaw in The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.

Elspeth Geddis is our last, and very deserving recipient of this year’s Highly Commended award. She demonstrated a fantastic range of character in The Wolves of Willoughby Chase where she played five different parts effortlessly.

A huge congratulations to all four recipients this year. You continuously raise the bar for young performers in the local area with all the hard work you do, and your enthusiasm for acting and kindness to other members of the company helps make Next Stage Youth what it is.

Next Stage Youth's 30th Birthday!

Tomorrow, on Thursday 12th September, Next Stage Youth Theatre Company will celebrate its 30th Birthday, having started up in September 1994.

To celebrate this milestone the talented members of Next Stage Youth are staging their rendition of Joan Aiken’s The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, adapted for stage by Russ Tunney and directed by Next Stage’s Artistic Director Ann Ellison. This fast-paced and technically advanced production sees the Youthers in gorgeous costumes and makes use of slideshow projection and a variety of other fun effects. You won’t want to miss it!

As we look forward to celebrating tomorrow, it is also a great time to look back at all Next Stage Youth has accomplished over the last 30 years:

·    1994: In September Ann Ellison BEM set up Next Stage Youth Theatre Company (NSY).

·    1995: Next Stage invited to perform Oh! Brave New World in the Bath International Music Festival – all of Next Stage Youth took part in this prestigious open-air event.

·    Mid-Somerset Drama Festival: from 1994 NSY established a strong link with Bath’s prestigious music and drama festival and NSY members have competed almost every year for the last 30 years. Many trophies have been won, particularly in the Group Acting classes.

·    1998: Next Stage Youthers performed in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at Kingswood Theatre. This began a long and fruitful collaboration between Next Stage’s youth and adult companies which lasts to this day. Youthers love being involved in the adult shows and gain a lot from working with experienced actors. The most recent collaborative production was The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾  in March 2023.

·    2000: 17-year-old Giles Cooper, a Next Stage Youther, toured to the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough with Next Stage’s production of Skylight by David Hare. Giles was accepted at drama school later that year and has since gone on to have a prestigious acting career including touring with Ruby Wax, performing at The National Theatre and is now busy in TV and film - Giles was the first of many Youthers who have gone on from NSY to work as professionals in the performing arts industry.

·    Next Stage Youth has won numerous awards over the years. The September 2003 production of John Godber’s Teechers was nominated Best Youth Production in the regional Rose Bowl Awards. In February 2004 a performance of Dreamjobs in the AAD One-act Play Festival at The Rondo won an award, as did its 16-year-old director.

·    Touring opportunities: Next Stage Youthers have had the chance over the years to tour to Bristol, Scarborough, The Minack Theatre in Cornwall and London. In 2009 Next Stage took Torch Song Trilogy to the Jermyn Street Theatre in the West End and two members of NSY - Tom Babbage and Tom Ash-Miles - had the exciting experience of their work being seen by London audiences. At The Minack, most recently, Kes Joffe appeared in A Streetcar Named Desire (2023).

·   In 2012 Next Stage Theatre Company set-up the “Come You Giants”- CYG Bursary which awards up to £1,000 per year to current or past Next Stage Youth members to fund theatre-related training. Over the years many youngsters have benefitted from this bursary.

NSY Artistic Director Ann Ellison BEM says:
“Some of my proudest moments in the 30 years of Next Stage Theatre Company’s existence have been watching our youth members perform. The amount of talent that we have been blessed with over the 30 years is remarkable and I am so proud of each and every youngster who has been part of NSY over the years. Of course I am also deeply indebted to all the Next Stage adult actors and associates who have contributed to the tutoring of our young actors over the years  -  from fight and dance choreography to voice control, interpretation of scripts, rehearsal and performance techniques - Youthers have wanted for nothing in their weekly sessions. But perhaps best of all for the majority of youthers is the confidence, friendships and many happy on and off stage memories that they carry with them for the rest of their lives.”

And now let’s hear from some past and present members of Next Stage Youth:

“My favourite thing about Next Stage Youth is how much is develops your skills, and every single time you do a production you can feel yourself growing and improving as an actor.”

“I enjoy Next Stage Youth because it feels like we’re all part of a family, and it’s nice to be able to do a professional looking show.”

“I remember Next Stage Youth being a perfect balance of larking around with my friends with lots of laughter, creating teenage relationships, while also learning how to produce theatre to a high standard.”

"It cannot be underestimated how much Next Stage Youth shaped me as an actor and, ultimately, a person. In my seven years as a member, and five as a tutor, I took part in so many amazing productions, including tours to The Minack Theatre and one of the first shows performed at The Mission Theatre. Through Next Stage Youth, I learned teamwork, discipline, organisation, and many other important skills I may not have learned otherwise. Perhaps best of all, I met many people who I'm lucky enough to call best friends. Thank you NSY!”

“NSY was such a special, important part of my childhood that I’ll always cherish and remember my time in the company. From making lifelong friends, to acting at The Minack in the pouring rain, NSY is something I hold very dearly in my heart. Happy Birthday, Next Stage Youth.”

We do hope that as many of you as are able will join us tomorrow and throughout the weekend to celebrate this milestone birthday with all of our talented young actors.

The Winner of Tina's Trophy 2024 - Kris Nuttall!

On May 19th 2024, Kris Nuttall was presented with Next Stage Theatre Company’s prestigious award: Tina’s Trophy. This award, created in 2019, is presented to a member of the company who has excelled onstage, backstage or in work behind the scenes supporting and promoting the company. Kris was awarded it for Excellence in Lighting Design.

Since joining Next Stage in 1995, his first production being All My Sons in 2002, Kris has worked on over 100 plays. He has toured with the company to The Minack Theatre, Cornwall, on numerous occasions and very much enjoys working in this amazing amphitheatre on the Land’s End peninsula. Kris has an uncanny ability to subtly and atmospherically light Next Stage productions whether they be intimate in-the-round pieces or large cast extravaganzas. He always delivers the directors’ visions whether that is making a dragon come to life, or a train pass straight through the auditorium!

Kris has also worked on Next Stage Youth Company shows lighting many memorable moments. A year ago, when the company produced West Side Story, Kris delivered an atmospheric feel of 1950s New York.

Some of Kris’ personal favourite productions to work on have been The Birthday Party (2007), Festen (2008), and His Dark Materials (2007) and Birdsong (2017), both at The Minack.

When accepting the trophy Kris said: “It’s lovely to think that Tina’s Trophy doesn’t just go to actors and that there is recognition of backstage skills as well. Being part of Next Stage Theatre Company has been very fulfilling and has given me lots of opportunities. I am very happy to receive this trophy in the company’s 30th birthday year.”

Kris is an extremely valued member of Next Stage Theatre company, he is friendly and trustworthy and always goes the extra mile. Congratulations to such a worthy trophy winner!

Highlights from Next Stage's 30th Birthday Celebrations - May 14th - 21st 2024

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 30 years since Next Stage Theatre Company began operating in Bath, producing fantastic, high-quality productions of not only the greatest pieces of contemporary theatre out there but also a multitude of hidden gems. None of it would’ve been possible without the contributions of the company’s members, patrons and business partners throughout Bath and beyond - and our 30th birthday weekend was as much a celebration of them as it was of Next Stage itself.

Our chosen production for Next Stage’s 30th anniversary was a play written by one of the company’s patrons, Sir Alan Ayckbourn - The Girl Next Door.

Opening on Tuesday 14th May, reviewer Rebecca Beard said of the production: “Deftly delivered moments of humour and tenderly delivered moments of poignancy reveal a writer at the top of his game, and the talented cast and crew of Next Stage Theatre more than did this work justice. Congratulations to you all and here's to many more birthdays to come.

Running throughout the week, The Girl Next Door recieved rave reviews from audience members and an exciting week culminated in our Gala Evening on May 18th - the day that, 30 years before, Next Stage’s opening night of Educating Rita was staged.

In attendance this May at The Mission Theatre were many longtime supporters of Next Stage, including business partners, Friends of Next Stage, family members and, most importantly, Bath’s local MP Wera Hobhouse and The Right Worshipful The Mayor of Bath Cllr. Dine Romero.

At the end of the performance, both The Mayor and Wera made speeches to the packed auditorium, highlighting the important role Next Stage has played in the local theatre scene in Bath. At the end of the speeches, all were invited to join in a toast and enjoy some birthday cake!

On Sunday 19th May, as the early summer sun beamed down, members of Next Stage took some time to relax, socialize and enjoy a 30th birthday barbecue.

At the company party, we announced the winner of 2024’s Tina’s Trophy - a beautiful crystal vase awarded annually to a member of the company who has excelled in on-stage or backstage roles with Next Stage. This year, long-serving Lighting Designer Kris Nuttall - who has been instrumental in the company’s high-quality productions for many years with his lighting expertise - was the recipient.

Finally on Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st May Next Stage Theatre Company, along with Friends and patrons, was granted the privelege of having two Civic Receptions with The Mayor of Bath, Cllr Dine Romero, in the historic Mayor’s Parlour in the Guildhall. Here everyone had the opportunity to chat with Madam Mayor, and to hear more about the history of their impressive surroundings.

It was an unforgettable week of celebrations, closing off the first 30 years of Next Stage’s rich history. Artistic Director Ann Ellison BEM commented:

It was extremely rewarding to have so many people celebrating Next Stage’s 30th during the week and we were all particularly touched by the kind words from The Mayor and our MP regarding the important role Next Stage has played in the city since 1994. Andrew and I loved seeing so many friends and company members in the theatre, at the party and in The Mayor’s Parlour. We were delighted that past members of the company - some of whom were involved at the very start of our existence - were able to join us for the celebrations. Thank you to everyone for creating many happy memories.”

We would lastly like to thank all of you who are reading this article, but perhaps couldn’t make it to the celebrations, for your involvement in Next Stage’s history - no matter how big or small your contributions might’ve been, they have been vital to our continuing operation and we wouldn’t be where we are without you all.


Celebrating 30 Years of Next Stage Theatre Company

The time is finally here - this month Next Stage Theatre Company turns 30 years old, and we could not be more proud of this tremendous milestone.

Ann Ellison says: “Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined the journey Next Stage has been on since I started the company in 1994. Then I had just 12 actors and directed the 2-hander Educating Rita. Many hundreds of actors and youthers later and the dream I had of producing 20th and 21st century plays in exciting and innovative stagings – usually in-the-round – has brought international recognition to the company. I would never have imagined directing nearly 200 shows for Next Stage since 1994. The company is still largely run by volunteers and has flourished thanks in no small part to the generous support of local patrons and the unstinting work of our brilliant volunteers.”

So happy 30th Birthday Next Stage! We hope as many of you as possible will join us to celebrate from Tuesday 14th - Saturday 18th May to see The Girl Next Door at The Mission Theatre, we’d be delighted to have you there with us.

Next Stage Youth Triumphs at this Year's Mid-Somerset Drama Festival

On Tuesday 5th March, Next Stage Youth took part in the annual Mid-Somerset Drama Festival, competing in both the ‘Year-9 and Under’ and the "‘Under 19’'s’ Group Acting Classes.

Our three groups all excelled with two of them performing extracts from A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness and the other group delivering a scene from The Children’s Hour by Lillian Hellman.

The adjudicator, Stephen Owen, said of our younger actors that they “worked well together establishing and developing their characters.” They made “creative use of the stage” and “delivered thoughtful and expressive work”.

Despite strong competition, this group won their class with Distinction and were awarded the trophy.

Our older actors split into two groups and were awarded third and first places. Stephen thought there was “good physicality” in A Monster Calls and that “all the characters were very well-established.”

The winning group, who performed the scene from The Children’s Hour, were commended on “creating a suitable feeling of emotional tension” and “an appropriate sense of ‘style’”. The adjudicator felt it was a “well-paced scene” that “used the stage effectively” with “convincing performances throughout.”

This group achieved Distinction and were awarded the Crisp Cowley trophy.

Many congratulations to all our talented young actors. Everyone should be extremely proud of what they achieved in a very short rehearsal period. Well done to all.

A fitting end to Next Stage Theatre Company's production of 'Beginning' by David Eldridge

Following Next Stage Theatre Company's production of Beginning that ran from Wednesday 6th to Saturday 9th September 2023, the show's director, Alexa Garner - making her directorial debut with this show - was delighted to have the opportunity in November to meet with David Eldridge at Birkbeck, University of London, where he is a lecturer in the School of Creative Arts, Culture and Communication.

SMiling for a selfie: David Eldridge and alexa garner pictured at their meet-up

During the meeting, they discussed the process of taking a play from the pages of a script to the stage – particularly how the characters evolve and emerge throughout the rehearsal process, and how the play changes with the different dynamics the audience brings.

Alexa shared her experience of directing her first play, and the challenge of staging such an intimate piece 'in-the-round', and David offered some insights from other productions of the show. Alexa was also able to ask some of the questions about the play that had been discussed with the cast during rehearsals, and to hear more about David's inspiration for writing the piece.

Speaking of the meeting, Alexa said, “I feel incredibly lucky to have had the chance to talk about Beginning with the person who created the complex, relatable, and engaging characters of Laura and Danny.”

As a play that leaves Laura and Danny's future up to the audience's imagination, Alexa got the opportunity to ask David whether he had any thoughts as to how his characters' lives would have unfolded.“I get to have my cake and eat it” David replied, and went on to explain that he creates characters that live and react in the moment, whereas the audience imagines their future. As such, each person who sees the show brings their own perspective and experience, thus deciding the outcome.

“It was a real pleasure to meet with Alexa Garner and hear about her revival of ‘Beginning’. One of the most rewarding parts and greatest pleasures of being a playwright is when a play slips the moorings of its first production and journeys into the world making new connections and meanings with new audiences I never dreamed of. I wish I’d been able to see Alexa’s production, it sounds fabulous” - David Eldridge

Although written as a stand-alone play, Beginning subsequently became the first of a trilogy of plays. In April 2022 it was followed by Middle, which premiered at The National Theatre's Dorfman Theatre. Alexa and David discussed the themes of love and relationships which are explored in both plays, and some of the echoes from Beginning that appear in Middle. And as for End – Alexa is very much looking forward to seeing the final instalment in David's trilogy, but no spoilers here!

Meet the Winners of 2023's Bridget Cassé Award.

It is that time of the year to recognise the hard work and dedication of some of our talented members of Next Stage Youth with the presentation of The Bridget Cassé Award for Excellence in Youth Theatre.

Phoebe is a popular and well-deserved winner of this year’s trophy. She has demonstrated her talent as well as her commitment to the company throughout the year with excellent attendance records and an enthusiastic attitude that she brings to every session and rehearsal.

During the year, Phoebe has taken part in an Under-19’s Group Acting entry in the Mid-Somerset Drama Festival, helping to win the Crisp Cowley trophy with her group’s extract from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Simon Stephens. Phoebe performed in Next Stage’s adult production The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole: The Musical in March 2023 and most recently she wowed audiences in her role as Anita in West Side Story: School Edition. Her hard work and dedication in all of these dramatic outings has not gone unnoticed. Congratulations Phoebe on your well-deserved award!

Runner up, Dara Tiernan, was a very close contender for the trophy this year, she too is a friendly and talented member of the company and a recipient of 2022’s Come You Giants bursary, using it to fund tuition for her LAMDA exam. Her most recent acting credits include one of the school girls in The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole: The Musical as well as fantastically depicting the boisterous and complex character of Anybodys in West Side Story.

Malena Agathangelou is Highly Commended in this year’s nominations, which recognises her natural flair for acting, particularly evident in her most recent role as A-Rab in West Side Story.

We want to thank all three of this year’s recipients once again for bringing such enthusiasm and energy to Next Stage Youth and supporting their peers whenever they can. Congratulations to you all!

The Right Worshipful The Mayor of Bath Cllr Dine Romero comes to see 'West Side Story'.

THE RIGHT WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR OF BATH Cllr dine romero WITH THE cast of west side story.

On Wednesday 27th September 2023 Next Stage Theatre Company and Next Stage Youth were delighted to welcome The Right Worshipful The Mayor of Bath Cllr Dine Romero to The Mission Theatre to see the company’s production of West Side Story - The School Edition. The Mayor, accompanied by her daughter, very much enjoyed the show - the first full-scale musical in the company’s history.

The Mayor and her daughter were met upon arrival by show director Ann Ellison BEM who is also Artistic Director of Next Stage. Ann talked to the guests about the company which is celebrating its 30th birthday next year, and about the talented young cast all of whom have learnt song, dance and fight choreography for West Side Story and many of whom have never sung in public before. After playing to a full house, the cast and crew of the show were delighted to meet with The Mayor and chat about their experiences with Next Stage Youth.

In the theatre’s comment book, The Mayor wrote:

“We’ve had an amazing evening - such an excellent show, great talents, well done to everyone involved and good luck for the rest of the performances."

The Mayor expressed an interest in paying a visit to Next Stage Theatre Company’s other venue, Burdall’s Yard, later this year. Next Stage Youth meet weekly at Burdall’s Yard and enrolment for the autumn term is happening there on Sunday.
