About Us

Montage Theatre Arts is a performing arts charity based in Lewisham, South East London.

For over 27 years we have existed to open doors to the performing arts in Lewisham and empower young people to build their self-belief, grow their creative skills, and become thriving members of their community. We foster creativity, confidence, and wellbeing through accessible, inclusive drama, dance and singing programmes.

We are imaginative.
We are confident.
We are supportive.
We are inclusive.
We are community focused.

Our objectives include reducing barriers to participation, nurturing local talent, celebrating diversity, and using the arts to support wellbeing, personal growth and social cohesion.

MTA provides a year-round programme of classes, workshops and projects rooted in dance, drama and music, giving participants opportunities to develop new skills, grow in confidence, and express themselves creatively.

We’re here to support each student in the way they need, working with their unique strengths, interests, and learning style. Whether they’re looking to be more self-confident or aiming for a career in the arts, we’re here to help them shine.

From end-of-term performances to musical theatre shows and community events, our students get the chance to showcase their talents at venues both local and prestigious. Our past performances include shows at Catford Broadway, Lewisham Peoples’ Day and Saddlers Wells.

We’re proudly supported by Lewisham Council, The Youth First Legacy Fund, the Beckenham Theatre Trust and the Williams Charitable Trust.
