Last year a lot of our students took part in BFLOC’s production of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ at Blackpool’s Grand Theatre. Directed by our very own Sophie, the show won the NODA award for Best Musical. Congratulations to all the cast and creative team on a wonderful win! ππ
We’re missing a few munchkins and some adult cast members but we all wanted to pose with the trophy! πͺπΌ
Thank you ππΌ
To all the local businesses who donated raffle prizes, everyone who bought raffle tickets, our students and families that attended the event and supported us on the night. To Papa Cou for the food, Mama Cou for all your help, Amy and Jason and the staff at the Wainwright, and of course Darren for entertaining us all evening! π
We had a great time celebrating Cou-Cou turning 9 and raised lots of money towards our next show (watch this space π). A big heartfelt thank you for your continued support π love The Cous xxx
I’m not sure where the time has gone but it’s been 5 years since our original run of ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’. Now this production was something else ππΌ I’m so grateful to this cast for what they achieved π€
Busy day of LAMDA exams ππΆ
Congratulations to all our students who took exams today - you work so hard and should be very proud of yourselves. We certainly are! π
Brodie joined our Little Cous class way back when and then starred as Zombie π§βοΈ in our debut production, ‘Press Start!’ She also played Lavender in Cou-Cou’s ‘Matilda Jr.’ Brodie is now working towards her Music Theory πΌ and LAMDA Acting π exams.

“Brodie has been having music theory lessons with Phoebe for a year now and loves every lesson. She was a bit unsure at first as she wasn't great with reading music but now, 12 months on, is doing so well and recently performed alongside her friend at a Cou-Cou showcase, playing the piano. Phoebe is super patient and a great teacher. Thank you Phoebe, we can't wait for the next performance!” πΉ
So proud of Lucie for performing ‘Castle on a Cloud’ at her school festival, coming in first place and then winning Star of the Week. She works very hard in her private lessons. Congratulations Lucie ππΌππΆ
