Welcome to the website of BATS Next Gen! We provide an affordable musical theatre experience to young people aged 7 to 17 who want to sing, act or dance. We enable children to develop skills that will continue into their adult life – self-confidence, team playing and self-discipline – as well as having fun, performing and making new friends.

We Will Rock You (Young@Part)
We have a cast!

A very difficult day for the directors and invited panel guests at today’s audition, choosing the cast for We Will Rock You, our next production which is being created over a two-week period in the summer holidays.  Performances will be Friday 5th an Saturday 6th (matinee and evening on this day) at Central Studio, Basingstoke.  Ticket details will be given in the very near future.

Well done to all who were successful; we are only sorry that the size of cast meant not everyone could be accepted on this ocassion.
