The Donna Maria
Company is a special events company with a difference. Our
performers are all children.
We train our little performers to a level of excellence that
is not normally expected of children who are much older.
Our children are trusted in delicate situations where not
only performance quality is essential but the levels of
behaviour required are very high. Our members have performed
at events ranging from ‘All the Queen’s Horses’ for
Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor to SMTVLive with Ant and
Dec, and Blue Peter.
But these children are all from the local community in South
London.
They are all taking part in our “train and display”
program.
We offer a full training - free of charge - to all comers.
The system aims to encourage children who would otherwise
not be able to pay for a performance training, as well as
those who could.
We are a charity (The Children’s Theatre Company of London
- No, 291395) registered with the charity commission and are
staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers.
We aim to provide not only a performance training to our
members but to encourage reliability, manners, values, team
work, self esteem and fitness. Our members not only have a
great time going to major events with their friends but
improve their communication skills and inter-personal
skills. Their time in the company stands them in good stead
for the rest of their lives.
