Stagecoach Performing Arts Haywards Heath principal, Jane Shakespeare-Kearns says: “The show was very creative and the students performed with confidence and expertise.

“It takes courage to stand up on stage in front of a large audience and I was incredibly proud to see them execute their well-versed songs and routines so well.”

The Haywards Heath students joined 15 other Stagecoach schools from across the country in the production.
