It’s fun, enriching and will boost their confidence.
Ignite Confidence!
At the very beginning of each program, your child, along with the rest of their Big Mouth friends, will come together to explore the program’s theme or show title. This is when imaginations go wild as we play our specially designed games and activities intended to generate colourful characters and sensational scenarios!
These activities are carefully planned in-house by our experienced Creative Director to help the children not only gel as a group as they start to explore their ideas (very important for any theatre company!) but that they are having a ton of fun whilst doing so!
Using dramatic play is key to everything we do here at Big Mouth. This puts the children at ease, creates a joyful atmosphere, and generates a safe and supportive space for creativity.
Once the group have decided on a basic plotline, the fun continues as they fill in the gaps! Here, we explore an enormous range of theatre styles and mediums. Whether it’s melodrama, physical theatre and pantomime, or split stage, monologues and narration; we like to explore a huge range of storytelling techniques to help the group decide which direction they’d like their show to go in.
Shine Bright!
When the story’s complete, our coaches work hard to write the show’s script and cast the characters based entirely on what the children have developed themselves (with our guidance, of course!)
Big Mouth is a non-competitive theatre group. Auditions of course have their place in the theatre world, but we utilise children’s theatre in a different way to a lot of other theatre clubs out there. We believe competitive elements such as auditions can have a negative effect on some children’s confidence, which is the complete opposite of what we hope to achieve here at Big Mouth. That’s why you won’t find auditioning at any of our clubs or services.
Instead, our trained coaches work closely with the group; discussing their thoughts and supporting their plans. They are then able to share performing opportunities as fairly as possible by providing each and every child with their very own named character with lines in the show. Your child will never be asked to be a tree in the corner (unless they want to be, of course!)
From Script
to Stage!
Next come the rehearsals! With the show having been written and cast, the fun carries on with further character exploration! How do they talk? How do they walk? What’s their back story? It’s important that the children also start to learn their lines in-between sessions, as you can only act so much with a script in your hand! (But don’t worry, we’ll help them with tips and techniques!)
This part of the program is incredibly exciting as the show starts to come together. Together with our coaches directing and assisting the fabulous cast with their scenes, the children also assemble into sub-groups of their choosing to discuss and decide on the more technical elements of their show. With our vast array of costumes and props, together with smoke, fog, snow, bubble, flame and star effects, not to mention a full lighting and sound rig at the theatre, we’re always able to ensure the children’s visions are upheld!
Then, the day that we have all been working towards all this time is upon us – show day!
And what a day it is!
Unleash
Self-Belief!
Throughout the program, your child’s coach will have been communicating with you (normally via written letters and email), with times and locations clearly laid out, together with how and where your child’s show tickets can be purchased. The children are asked to arrive a couple of hours prior to their show to give them the opportunity to meet our friendly crew and have a complete dress rehearsal in the theatre beforehand (hopefully calming any nerves in the process!)
We completely understand, however, that those niggly nerves can be quite persistent! That’s why we conduct our show day in exactly the same way as any other session; playing lots of games and supporting the children wherever needed.
The minute the children step on to that stage, however, the nerves seem to fade away to a distant memory, as they make the most of every minute, taking pride in the show that they created themselves!
From just a title, to a spectacularly-staged production, this incredible journey is full of fun, creation and collaboration! And for us coaches watching from the wings, to see the pure joy on the children’s faces as they perform with their new-found friends is something that will never get old.
Confidence, connections, and self-belief are key to a child’s development. And that’s what Big Mouth Theatre is all about!

What the parents say...
...bubbling over with excitement
Big Mouth has not just been “something to do” at the weekend or during the week, but fully part of his life. It is not merely about putting on performances, but making new friends, growing in confidence, expressing himself creatively, and becoming more rounded as a person.

...self-confidence has grown
Both my daughter and I are so pleased that she joined.... She was immediately included and made to feel part of the team. In the relatively short time she’s been attending, she’s blossomed, and her self-confidence has grown noticeably.

"I used to be really shy, but because I go to Big Mouth I now have a lot of confidence in myself and I'm more able to be myself in other areas, not just acting."
