The Garrick Academy of Performing Arts runs classes for ages 5 to 18 and is the place to be if you love acting, singing or dancing. The Academy About GAPA & How to Join? Altrincham Garrick Playhouse is the beating heart of the community. A theatre, cinema, youth academy and community creative social place for all to enjoy. The Garrick Academy of Performing Arts, or GAPA as it is now affectionately known, continues to go from strength-to-strength. Formed in 2003 by Peter Birch and Dean Sumner, it has developed from 60 students to more than twice that number today. GAPA now has 3 teaching staff, 3 senior assistants – all of whom have been professionally trained in various disciplines within the performing arts. Additionally we have trainee junior assistants, who have been brought up through the GAPA ranks, all working with our students to develop their drama knowledge and gain experience. GAPA currently runs: SATURDAY CLASSES SCHOOL HOLIDAY COURSES SPEECH AND DRAMA Through all our courses and weekly classes we provide, train and develop the performance skills of our students and give them a theatre grounding; should they wish to just enjoy the fun of performing or should they eventually work professionally within the business. We focus on performance, inclusion and fun, and we ensure the students are constantly working towards the presentation of their work. Our annual productions see students preparing for a full-length show which, depending upon the production chosen, may be performed on the Garrick main stage or the more intimate Lauriston Studio, if the show or play is more suited. We look forward to seeing you at the next GAPA production, when you can watch our next generation of performing talent.

Return to Productions Archive Garrick Academy GAPA - Group 6 GAPA Term 3 focuses on stage skills, confidence, and preparing for auditions and performances Ran Apr 25, 2026 Age guidance Group 6: 11.30am - 1.30pm (Ages 14 -18) Venue Rehearsal Room Running time 2 hours Tickets Price Range £185 Description The Garrick Academy of Performing Arts, affectionately known as GAPA currently runs seven Saturday drama groups: six on a Saturday morning for our 8 to 18 year olds, with our MINI GAPA class, for 5 to 8 year olds, on Saturday afternoons. Throughout the year, the groups work towards the goal of putting a production onto the main stage. Term 3 is all about stagecraft, skills and audition preparation, giving students the opportunity to enhance and develop their performance skills. Then in Term 1 in September, it’s audition time and, once the play is cast, the rehearsals start and all the elements of the show are put together, ready to showcase in Term 2. Working through this process, the students learn the valuable skills required of rehearsing and putting on a production, whilst being surrounded by fun and laughter. Term 3 25th April 26 to 11th July 26 (not including 23rd May and 30th May 2026).

Return to Productions Archive Garrick Productions Tom Jones (1999) Ran Jun 9, 1999 - Jun 19, 1999 Age guidance Venue Running time Tickets Price Range Description Dunham Massey Hall - June 9 -19th 1999 A huge cast gave eight performances of Joan Macalpine's adaptation of Henry Fielding's bawdy romp of a novel, "Tom Jones" Although the evening may have seemed a little long (maybe the seating was not quite as comfortable as it might have been!), the original novel runs to over 800 pages in a modern printed edition, so a finish time of 10.15 pm was quite an achievement! Reviews SAM's view on "Tom Jones" Alas smitten Jones - Womaniser Tom keeps crowd warm It may have been a slightly chilly evening in the stands in the courtyard of Dunham Massey Hall, but the goings on in Tom Jones, performed by the Altrincham Garrick, were, to say the least, hot. Tom is a philandering womaniser of the first order but he has a directness and a candour which endear him to the audience and, ultimately, to his true love, Sophia Western. Charlie Tomlinson throws himself into the part of Fielding's hero with an abandonment only equalled by that of his lovers. He frolics tirelessly with his dalliances, has dust ups with the men and performs acrobatic impossibilities when he dives under a neatly constructed bed and hangs from a drainpipe - a performance which will be recalled and savoured! Sophia, played by Juliet Glaves, is a decorous, becoming and well bred young lady who becomes excessively tearful when her father foists the wrong man on her. Tom's first fling is with Pam Nolan's voluptuous Molly, who has a sexy Somerset drawl. "I never done that before," she sighs innocently while wantonly seducing him and indulging in rough and tumble behind the strategically placed hay cart. His last encounter gives Helen Busby a chance to shine. She positively sparkles as the scheming Mrs Fitzpatrick who guilefully illustrates that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. In between comes Angela Wetherill who, as Mrs Waters, is a mistress of farce. Hers is the funniest scene. It's not unlike a silent movie. Special attention has been given to the costumes, from the Royal Exchange, high powered lighting and first rate sound.

Return to Productions Archive Garrick Production Treasure Island Robert Louis Stevenson's swashbuckling, action packed story is the perfect treat this Easter! Ran Apr 3, 2024 - Apr 14, 2024 Age guidance 8+ Venue Main House Running time 2.5 hours (inc. 20 mins interval) Tickets Price Range £12 - £17 Description Avast there, me hearties! It’s time to set sail with the Altrincham Garrick Playhouse this Easter Holiday for an action-packed, swashbuckling adventure on the high seas to TREASURE ISLAND! It's a dark and stormy night. Jim, the inn-keeper's granddaughter, opens the door to a terrifying stranger. At the old sailor's feet sits a huge sea-chest, full of secrets. Jim invites him in - and her dangerous voyage begins… Gathering a motley crew of sailors and pirates, Jim sets sail on the mighty Hispaniola bound for a lost island and untold fortunes. The ship’s charming cook, Long John Silver, quickly befriends Jim but as the island draws near, danger lurks beneath the surface. Will Jim and her friends find the buried gold, or will the one-legged pirate be the death of them all? This thrilling new adaptation by Bryony Lavery of Treasure Island premiered at the National Theatre, London, in December 2014. Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story of murder, money and mutiny is the perfect treat for all the Family! Oh… and feel free to bring your parrot along too!

But this nautical adventure is a trip well worth making as it takes place on dry land, perfect for a land lubber like me. Also it was really pleasing to see so many children in the audience as I imagine far too many kids think live theatre begins and ends with pantomime. I know I did. This rollicking good adventure sees Jim Hawkins -Lauren Brown - and the legendary baddie Long John Silver Michael Gallagher - -on the hunt for buried treasure in a far flung destination that can destroy the sanity of those brave enough to set foot there. Brown and Gallagher are a terrifically engaging double act even if there are occasions when Gallagher is at serious risk of being upstaged by a parrot. There are also some great sword fights to enjoy and all the action takes place against a very believable backdrop designed by James Merrington. I particularly enjoyed the inn at the start of the evening, complete with flickering fire effect in the grate. Set designers haven’t received the recognition they often deserve in my previous reviews. Hopefully this will serve to redress the balance somewhat. Helen Horridge is extremely watchable and likeable as Squire and the appreciative applause Euan Tanna-Fenton received during the performance was richly deserved as he was so convincing as a sailor who’d lost his mind, having lived alone on the island for three long and lonely years. Joe Meighan’s appointment as the Garrick’s artistic director has proved to be a real masterstroke and he proves yet again that the words ‘family show’ don’t have to be shorthand for stupidity. To enter into the spirit of the evening the theatre’s front of house staff dressed in sailor garb. Well done, me hearties. Until April 14. Tickets are available from 0161 928 1677 or www.altrinchamgarrick.co.uk . Star rating - 3.5 out of 5. Gallery Trailer Trigger Warning Loud noises, special effects, mild violence and threats.
