ABOUTSTAGE CLUB
Stage Club STARTED at South Morningside Primary School AND has been around for many years, proving to be a calendar highlight for the school and the surrounding community.
Stephen Graham-Martin took over as Director is 2011, and in 2017 the Production Team behind Stage Club is now credited as SJM Creative.
SJM is delighted to now run 3 stage clubs: opening in james gillespies primary school in september 2023 and in bruntsfield primary in september 2024.
Each year in August, registration is open to all students who are interested in joining the clubs. There is always a massive interest throughout the sign-up process, but only a limited number children are randomly selected to be involved.
The groups then rehearse weekly, within term time, from September to February/March in the school gym hall, before transferring to the Church Hill Theatre for a spectacular show, where friends and family are invited to join us and celebrate all the hard work that goes into making the shows happen!
The productions get bigger and better each year and SJM Creative are always looking at ways to bring something different, and ‘WOW’ to the next years production. Stage Club is a well-oiled machine with preparations starting from May/June of one year and following right through until after the show.
The club is a valuable part of the kid’s development as they come to the end of their Primary education and begin the transition to High School. Stage Club stands for giving as many children the opportunity to grow and develop, to find their voice, and to be able to use their voice in a creative way, a lot of the same values as SJM Performance Academy.
Stage Club is an afterschool club that is ran with lots of kind help from the parents and carers of the participants, the school councils and the school teaching staff.
