About Theatretrain Hitchin
Building Confidence & Training The Next Generation Of Performers…
Hi, I'm Geraldine!
Hi, I’m Geraldine! I’m the Company Director here at Theatretrain Hitchin, where my job is to ensure your children are enjoying their professional theatre training in a fun and creative way.
My journey in the world of theatre began with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Popular Music and Technology, where my focus was on singing.
Following that, I dedicated five years to teaching singing at Theatretrain, eventually becoming a Company Director. I’ve always been drawn to the company’s mission and the incredible opportunities it offers young people.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of successfully managing Theatretrain companies, witnessing our students flourish in confidence and skill. For me, Theatretrain is not just a business; it’s a cherished part of my life, and when you become part of Theatretrain, you become part of our artistic family.
