Michael leaves for Trinity Laban

Phoenix Youth Theatre would like to wish Michael Lewis the best of luck as he heads down to London to start the next stage of his theatrical training at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.

Michael has been one of Phoenix Youth's stars for the past few years, landing lead roles in shows including 'Billy', 'The Pajama Game' and 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying'. He also went on to play Rapunzel's Prince in Phoenix Theatre's production of 'Into The Woods'

He has been a joy to work with every step of the way and we couldn't be more proud of him!
