One's to watch.....
We are so proud of ALL the children who come along to HCTG and get up on the stage and perform in our shows.
And some have gone further with their acting careers – performing in The West End, on TV, at festivals, on ads, Netflix etc.
Here are a few success stories!
CONNIE attended HCTG from 2008 for many years and it was her first drama school training. She tells us how much she loved being able to practice her craft on stage in full shows so regularly. She has gone on to have great success as an actor on stage, TV and film.
Connie’s most recent notable roles are playing Young Violet Bridgerton in the Netflix series Bridgerton spin-off ‘Queen Charlotte’, and a pivotal role as the young Jenna Coleman in the BBC/Hulu’s ‘The Jetty’, and with new work coming out in 2025 including ITV’s Grace. Her work has won over fans and critics alike.
We are very proud of Connie and know there’s a lot more to come! Watch this space!
DANIEL attended HCTG as a child and teenager and graduated from Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in 2018, recently taking on roles in the West End and elsewhere!
Daniel starred as ‘Detective Sgt. Trotter’ in Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mousetrap’ in the West End, the world’s longest-running play (since 1952). Also appearing in ‘State of It’ at The Vaults Theatre London and ‘Witness for the Prosecution’ in the West End.
We are expecting more great things from this brilliant young actor!
ESTHER attended HCTG from the age of 9 and immediately loved the classes and performing in the shows. After starting HCTG her confidence grew and she became certain that performance was something she wanted to do all the time. Esther stayed at HCTG up until the age of 18, attending and helping out at classes (and stage managing).
After A levels, Esther went on to study for a BA at East 15 Acting School. On graduating last year with First Class Honours she performed at both the Camden and Edinburgh Fringe. Currently Esther is living in London and is part of a creative collective running Scratch Nights where fellow artists can perform and promote new work.
Esther is rehearsing for a rom-com play ‘Eggs Aren’t that Easy to Make’ which will be previewing in London in July before heading to the Edinburgh Fringe for the whole of August
JAMES joined HCTG at 3 years old and has loved every single minute, taking part in workshops, weekly sessions, and of course, the incredible shows!
In 2024, James was selected to double for Hamnet, working alongside Jacobi Jupe, Paul Mescal, Jessie Buckley and Emily Watson.
In 2025, he played Alfie in a Netflix / Working Title feature film Goodbye June directed by Kate Winslet with Helen Mirren, Timothy Spall, Toni Collette and Andrea Riseborough.
And this summer, he will join a stellar cast for a new play in a major London theatre.
James has had no other external learning or training, continues to attend HCTG and thrives in their shows and weekly sessions. He’s certainly one to watch!!
MISHA has attended HCTG since the age of 3! And at only the age of 8 her professional acting career has already started!
She continues to flourish for HCTG and is also signed with a talent agency.
Recently, she has had supporting roles in EastEnders and Silent Witness to name but a few.
She is a singer, dancer and actor – a triple threat! There are exciting things around the corner for this young star!
We are thrilled that they started their stage life with HCTG. It is a great foot in the door for any children wanting to pursue a career on stage or screen and a fantastic life experience for those for whom acting is a hobby!
