About 3Theatre 

‘ It’s helping with confidence, I can hear singing all the time..that didn’t happen before. I think you are doing an amazing job’
( Parent, 1-1 tutorials online 2020)

3Theatre is a new approach to theatre education aiming to build confidence and positive mental health practice through the arts. 3T was founded by Claire Doyle in 2016.

With over 20 years of performance and teaching experience, alongside extensive training at the Royal Academy of Music (London) and the Theatre School of Dance and Drama (Edinburgh) Claire has enjoyed a varied career receiving an array of accolades. In addition to her wide-ranging performance experience, Claire has enjoyed playing a key creative role in a multitude of innovative theatre, film and dance projects worldwide.

 Claire has come to appreciate the brilliance and creativity of young minds and the importance of confidence, resilience and positivity in their development. Claire’s wealth of experience and training coupled with her desire to support and encourage individuality lead to the creation of 3T – an inclusive social enterprise designed to harness the power of the imagination and spread the joy of creativity … to all! 

2020 and 2021

3Theatre had been working online for many years supporting clients who live and work abroad and when the pandemic hit we increased our online activity to engage and inspire young minds. Our Pandemic response gave us another award nomination.
Connection and collaboration were key during the pandemic, and we partnered up with inspirational artist Cassandra Harrison to create unique online events for both Halloween and Christmas for young people. We had participants from all over the world join us. It was an honour and delight to be in partnership with such an amazing talent.

3Theatre was also an honoured recipient of funding from both Edinburgh and Glasgow’s SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL group along with some personal donations from it’s members. This funding was used to work with the incredible Wellbeing Support services and an outstanding young student who had been isolated from music by the pandemic. Our heart-felt thanks go to the generous donors and this wonderful organisation.

‘ My singing lessons just mean the world to me and I would be lost without them. They help me with confidence… (to) be more sociable with friends and family and also change my mood when I’m not feeling 100%’ ( scholarship/ funding recipient 2020/2021)

We also participated in 2 online projects. Our students were inspired to write and perform in a Christmas Single to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital. The students were ecstatic to be a part of the US band OKGo’s reinvention of their single ‘ All Together Now’ and part of their worldwide project ‘Art Together Now’ . The single and album was released worldwide and can be downloaded on all music streaming channels.

Now regulations have lifted we are able to run ‘Smile!’ or Skills projects in person. We are also now able to work again with schools and after school clubs programmes. 3Theatre also provides private 1-1 tutorials for anyone, of any standard or confidence level in singing or acting.

There are a limited number of weekly time slots available for 1-1 tutorials as with the opening up of more online connection, 3Theatre now works with clients from many countries. So get in touch we’d love to hear from you. Enquiries can be made using our registration page or  emailing : [email protected]
