HOME in Manchester has announced that it will be working with Trafalgar Entertainment on a major new commissioning opportunity for theatre-makers wanting to expand their practice.

The HOME 2020 Commission provides a rare opportunity for theatre makers who have been working in smaller spaces to make a step change in their careers.

Trafalgar Entertainment and Stagecoach Performing Arts have appointed two apprentices as part of a pilot apprenticeship scheme in partnership with the National College of Creative Industries (NCCI), intended to give people a chance to develop skills, gain experience and open up opportunities in the theatre and entertainment industry

Shane Darrall, 28, joins Trafalgar Entertainment as Technical Apprentice and will be based at Trafalgar Studios.

Acclaimed theatre company The Wardrobe Ensemble, in co-production with Royal & Derngate, Northampton and Shoreditch Town Hall, will bring the The Scotsman Fringe First Award and The Stage Edinburgh Award winning, smash-hit production Education, Education, Education to Trafalgar Studios from 31 May to 29 June. The show will be presented in the West End by Trafalgar Theatre Productions and Eilene Davidson.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.
