Edinburgh Playhouse
Billie was the first ever Scottish actor to play Catherine of Aragon in SIX The Musical and this July you can get the chance to learn musical theatre skills from her at Edinburgh Playhouse.
These workshops will be held in our Boards Bar and will consist of singing, dancing and acting pieces from your favourite musicals. No experience necessary, we want these workshops to be fun and full of energy so if that sounds like you, then we would love you to join us.
Each day we will explore a different musical and skill so we encourage you to book multiple days to get the fullest experience. Billie will also give an insight into her own career and top tips for auditioning and what it's like to work in the industry.

Edinburgh Playhouse
Although designed as a variety theatre, the Edinburgh Playhouse opened in 1929 as Scotland’s second largest cinema. It was hugely successful and remained so until the downturn in cinema attendance in the early 70s. When it closed in November 1973, the building was at risk of demolition, but following several years of public ‘save the Playhouse’ campaigns it was eventually saved. It reopened in 1980 as the fully functional theatre it was always intended to be. Since then, it has hosted some of the world's biggest music and stand-up comedy acts including, Elton John, The Who, Nick Cave, Kevin Bridges and Tim Minchin and international hit musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, We Will Rock You, Wicked, Matilda and Disney’s The Lion King.
