About Us

MTS is an exciting new chapter in the development of musical theatre training in the North East offering a dynamic, electrifying and fulfilling college experience, guided by the principles of self-development, discipline and fearlessness. MTS allows and encourages students to excel in all areas of training, with expert industry coaches helping develop the necessary skills, passion and mindset required for the business we call “show”. 

MTS was founded in October 2018 by West End star and Arts Educational Schools London graduate Annie Guy and has gone on to become one of the leading musical theatre academies in the North East. Students from MTS (#MTSTrained) have gained places at prestigious performing arts schools, colleges and universities such as ArtsEd, Mountview, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Laine Theatre Arts, Urdang, Guilford School of Acting, Bird College, LAMDA, Italia Conti, The BRIT School and many more. 

In 2022, MTS partnered with Olivier Award-winning West End production company ADAMA and established a home in the heart of Sunderland with state-of-the-art facilities for students and coaches alike, as well as a dedicated student space for self-reflection, study and rehearsal. A building that buzzes with adventure, energy and hard work – this will be the start of many student’s exciting journey into musical theatre training for years to come. 

MTS is also proud to offer exceptional and confidential pastoral care to all its students. The mental wellbeing of our students is as important as their physical wellbeing.
