STAGE DEBUT AWARDS 2019
Trafalgar Entertainment and Stagecoach Performing Arts will once again be sponsoring awards at The Stage Debut Awards in 2019.
The only awards programme specifically designed to encourage and sustain the stars of tomorrow, The Stage Debut Awards celebrates breakthrough theatre actors and creatives across the UK.
VISIONS AND VALUES
A big thank you from Karin Gartzke and Jessamy Hadley to everyone involved in the very lively Vision and Values workshops this month. Just shows what can happen when creative minds from across Trafalgar Entertainment get together!
Defining our common purpose and the values that guide the way we work allowed us to explore the many things we have in common.
NEW OFFICE MOVE COUNTDOWN!
Here are the latest exclusive pics from our new office in Woking. It’s just over a week now until moving day and we can’t wait! The building project is all but finished apart from snagging, signage and IT installation.
Colleagues from Stagecoach and the West Byfleet office were invited to view the office last week and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
THE GRINNING MAN’S MARVELLOUS MAGICAL ACT
In June 2018 Andy Serkis and Tom Morris directed a full motion capture of Trafalgar Entertainment and Bristol Old Vic’s hit West End show The Grinning Man at the Imaginarium studios in Ealing. The capture was funded by Magic Leap in order to create content for an Augmented Reality experience using the pioneering Magic Leap glasses.
PRESS NIGHT GUESTS RAVE ABOUT ADMISSIONS
This month’s press night for Admissions at Trafalgar Studios was a star-studded affair with celebs such as Ben Stiller, Jill Halfpenny, Russell Tovey, Angela Griffin, Iwan Rhoen, Floella Benjamin, Natascha McElhone, Tyger Drew-Honey, Fionn Whitehead, Nick Moran and Charlie Condou walking our red carpet. The after show party took place at Brown’s on St Martin’s Lane.
12 OLIVIER AWARD NOMINATIONS
Trafalgar Theatre Productions has been nominated for a total of twelve Olivier Awards across five of its co-productions.
The nomination tally includes six nods for the critically acclaimed multi Tony Award winning smash hit, The Lincoln Center Theater production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I, following a sold out record breaking season at the world famous London Palladium.
BRAND DESIGNS
Howard, Rosemary and Helen were pleased to introduce the reworked brand identity for what is now known as Trafalgar Entertainment.
Creativity, quality and inclusivity have always been important to us and our brand identity builds on what we have achieved so far and positions us to develop as a credible, stable, imaginative business.

OFFICE SNEAK PEEK!
Here’s a sneak peek of our new office space currently under development in Woking. Staff from West Byfleet and Stagecoach will be moving into the open plan office on the 12th floor of Export House in April. The lease has now been signed and phase one of the building has started with the first fitting of data and electrical cabling.
JOSE AND ANNALENE SHINE AT PRESS LAUNCH
We headed to Manchester and Sunderland last month for the official press launches of The King and I. Local media were invited to interview the cast and were treated to stunning preview performances from Jose Llana, reprising his critically acclaimed Broadway performance as The King, and Annalene Beechey, fresh from her West End success.
