ABOUT

Since our debut production of Les Misérables in March 2008, Retro have been actively engaged in developing the talents of young people in and around Aberdare.

Les Misérables set the standard for future productions and in July 2008 the Academy held its first one night variety show, “It’s Showtime”, at the Coliseum Theatre, in Aberdare and the evening proved to be a huge success.

Retro Academy was established in order to provide young people who have an interest in performing arts with a solid foundation on which to develop their talent and learn new skills.

It is our aim to generate a quality musical theatre experience for our members where they can become skilled in all aspects of performing arts in a fun, friendly and creative environment.

It is no coincidence that Retro is located in an area where there are few opportunities for young people and whilst we offer them a chance to develop their performance skills it also an opportunity to socialise and build their confidence both on and off stage.
