CTA Performing Arts established in 2008 is one of the UK’s leading Musical Theatre schools for young performers aged 3-18 with a World Class Musical Theatre Faculty of West End Creatives.

About our Musicals in a Week Summer Programme

Our Musical in a Week Summer Programme is led by our CTA Musical Theatre faculty of West End Creatives and, the Principal of CTA Performing Arts, Georgina Burns.

Your child will spend 5/4 days rehearsing Matilda and on the 6/5th day – the Saturday, they will perform their musical at The Tabard Theatre, Chiswick.

Who are our Musical in a Week Summer Camps suitable for?

They are suitable for the child who loves musicals, singing, dancing and acting. No previous performing experience is necessary, just enthusiasm and a love for musicals. If your child is a beginner they will be guided and nurtured throughout the whole week. Children who are more experienced will be encouraged and challenged and may be given the opportunity to play main roles. So if your child has always wanted to be Matilda or Miss Trunchbull or a ‘Revolting Child’ in Matilda then our Musical in a Week Summer Camps is the perfect summer camp for them. It will also be such FUN!

About the Shows

We are delighted to have acquired the rights to perform the musical and Matilda the Musical JR for our Musical in the Week Summer Camps. These shows are the Junior versions of the much loved musicals and are suitable for children to perform. The MTI Junior shows are shorter than the West End shows – with the performance running time of Matilda the Musical jR 60 minutes.

Our casts will perform in their Camp T-shirt, black leggings and black jazz shoes (these can be purchased from our Reception).

Matilda the Musical jR: This 60 minute version of the Award Winning musical by Tim Minchin feature songs including: Naughty, Revolting Children, Miracle, Bruce & School Song.

About CTA Performing Arts

A warm welcome to CTA Performing Arts. As a family business, run by myself and my husband Phil, and located in central Chiswick – (we are not a franchise) we pride ourselves on our commitment to every student who attends CTA Performing Arts, whether they attend weekly classes or attend our holiday camps. If your child loves musicals and performing or if your child has dreams of a career on the stage – then our Musical in a Week will be the perfect outlet for their talent and enthusiasm.

Every student who walks through our doors is important to us - so whether your child wants to play Matilda (or one of the other great characters in Matilda) or because you are looking for a Summer Camp where your child will gain confidence, creative skills and perhaps discover a new talent + making new friendships – our Musical in a Week will be truly inspirational + finishing with a performance in a theatre for an audience of family and friends!

With the inspiration, support and guidance of our talented and experienced teaching faculty, our students are nurtured and developed to reach their full potential as performers and directed on a path of creativity, self-confidence, expression and individualism.

Our students have starred in West Ends shows, Disney films, Regional Theatre, TV shows, and worked with Hollywood royalty. One of my new students who, played Matilda in my Musical in a Week Summer 2025, is now playing Matilda in the West End production of Matilda the Musical! Graduates have also gone on to study at Oxford and Cambridge, training to be Doctors, Lawyers, Architects, Social Workers as well as those who have chosen a career within the Performing Arts. We believe that the skills we teach are transferable to all life aspects. In many findings, researchers are linking the study of performing arts to better child development and higher academic achievement.

We can’t wait to welcome your child to CTA Performing Arts and to give them the most amazing summer camp ever!
