CentreStage holds first open day since 2019.


On Sunday 7 August CentreStage once again flung open its doors for the first official open day since before the pandemic and the first proper open day in the new CentreStage Village.


The open day welcomed hundreds of people, both those new and long-time friends, to experience the breadth of what we have to offer.  Theatre performances, choirs, singalong sessions and musical theatre taster classes for our younger participants were all on the agenda – truly something for everyone.


CentreStage prides itself on being an inclusive and welcoming place for everyone to come and join in regardless of age, background or experience with values of hope, aspiration and inclusion and we truly showcased those values today!


The audience heard from our Aspire choir for those with additional support needs along with The Unlikely Lads, our men’s choir for the older generation.  We also had a preview of CentreStage’s upcoming production The Wedding Singer which takes place in our theatre in October and much much more!  Head over to our social media channels to see all the highlights!


Founder, Fiona McKenzie, said: “We are delighted to have welcomed so many people to CentreStage today, we want everyone to feel that they are welcome in our home.  You don’t need to be able to sing, we just want you to sing with passion and love what you do. We have an exciting period ahead of us with a variety of shows, groups and events taking place here and we want everyone to come find themselves at CentreStage”.


A massive thank you to everyone who came along, we loved having you here in our home!  Our classes restart on 15 August and you can sign up anytime via our website: https://www.centrestagemt.org.uk/classes

Ellis Wilson, heads to the Special Olympics in Berlin on 11th June Here at CentreStage we are proud of all the achievements of our participants and when someone as talented as Ellis Wilson lets us know she is heading to the Special Olympics in Berlin to compete we couldn't not shout about her achievements. Ellis is a much loved and 'well kent' face around CentreStage taking part in our Gospel Choir, Oor Wee Choir and our Creativity Cafe every week, regularly taking to the stage during our shows and events and showcasing her wonderful art that she creates. It also turns out that the arts are not where her talents stop, Ellis has been involved in the Special Olympics GB squad since she was a youngster where she competed in horse riding. However, this time she is switching her horse for the bike as she heads to Berlin for this summer's games to compete in cycling. Here is Ellis' athlete's profile:

Young people graduate from Connect programme

18 May, 2023
Young people graduate from Connect programme CentreStage and Ayrshire College celebrate the achievements over 50 young people On Wednesday 17th May, over 50 young people from schools across East Ayrshire graduated from the Connect programme, a partnership programme between CentreStage and Ayrshire College which seeks to provide opportunities for young people not engaging fully with school. The celebration event brought together all of the young people who took part this year along with their teachers and parents to showcase some of the impressive work they have been involved in. This year, the young people were working towards Creative Industries Award Levels 4 and 5 for the first time, which focuses on developing basic knowledge and understanding of practical aspects of the creative industries. It is aimed at those who may want to explore the many activities and opportunities available in the creative industries sector, including: theatre and performance, television and radio broadcasting, music and video. They supported our wider team in building and painting many of our sets for CentreStage shows such as Through The Deep Dark Wood, Elf and flagship show, The Wedding Singer. As well as creating 3D scene boxes which were entered in to a prestigious competition and many other creative activities. CentreStage was also able to provide a wider range of skills, helping the young people work on their life skills, such as making soup and baking alongside our signature singing and performing opportunities which all went towards creating a holistic set of skills for them all. Please watch our video for the highlights from their time with us:
