Omagh's cross-community stage school since 1993
Hazel Wand Theatre School
Drama, music and dance for ages 3 to 19 — thousands of students have passed through our studio doors to find their confidence, their voice and their stage.
Welcome
Performing Together, Since 1993
Hazel Wand is one of Northern Ireland's longest established stage schools. Our studio doors opened on Bridge Street, Omagh in 1993 and since that time thousands of students have attended weekly lessons to develop in all aspects of the performing arts.
The team at Hazel Wand are all trained professionals in theatre education or theatrical practice. We have specialists in the three fields of performing arts — Drama, Music and Dance. Every member of the team brings something unique, and every member of staff started out as a student of Hazel Wand founder Sister Aengus Fitzpatrick MBE. We carry forward her cross-community ethos of 'performing together' as we continue in her memory.
What We Offer
Three Arts, One Stage
Music Tuition
Students develop as singers in ensembles, small groups and as soloists. Small group and individual tuition is available for piano and voice from experienced, qualified tutors. Students can prepare for a classical grade in piano and singing, work towards a musical theatre exam, or simply develop their technique in individually tailored lessons.
GCSE & A Level Drama
Students entering Year 11 or Year 13 can complete AQA GCSE or A Level Drama at Hazel Wand. The courses are completed in one academic year and taught by PGCE qualified teachers — a challenging mix of performance, devising, coursework, live theatre visits and a written paper.
Students thrive in the more casual studio setting and achieve very highly in their qualifications.
NEA Exams
Each year students are offered the opportunity to complete NEA Speech & Drama, Acting and Musical Theatre exams. Students prepare with experienced, qualified teachers who teach exam material one-to-one, so every student gets the training they need to achieve their best — from initial grades up to diploma and teacher diploma level.
