Its Musical Theatre branch, which closed during the pandemic, is now making a much-anticipated return to run alongside the Academy's already thriving acting classes in the town.

And on Septembe 9th it reopens its doors again in Sandbach town centre.

"Sandbach has always been full of incredible young talent," says Principal of Carney Academy, David Gregan-Jones. "Our acting classes here are buzzing, and bringing back Musical Theatre means we can offer local students the chance to train in all three disciplines – acting, singing, and dancing – under one roof. It's going to be an exciting new chapter."

Carney's Musical Theatre programme is open to ages 7–11 (5.45pm–7.00pm) and ages 12–16 (7.00pm–8.30pm), running Tuesdays during term time at a central Sandbach location.
