The benefits of running your own theatre school are clear: making a significant difference to young people’s lives, creative freedom, flexible hours, a profitable business and it’s fun to name just a few. But what if you don’t have a professional background in the arts. Can you still run a theatre school even if you are not a performer yourself?
The short answer is yes, but only if you have the support behind you because running a theatre school is more complex than it looks.
The benefits of running a theatre school
Running a theatre school could be just the change that you are looking for. Now the UK is emerging from lockdown and life is starting to return to normal, many people are reconsidering their lifestyle choices. The option to work from home, when and how you want to, with the flexibility to work around your family or other commitments is something that people are now no longer willing to compromise on.
What it takes to run a theatre school
Every single Principal, staff member and teacher at Razzamataz 100% agree that performing arts is brilliant for all children. Having a passion for the arts is non-negotiable but we don’t believe you need to have a background in it to be successful. In fact, we have proved this numerous times because many franchisees in the Razzamataz network have no professional performing experience. Their experience, enthusiasm and determination to run their own business together with the Razzamataz training and support systems has given the opportunity for many people to fulfil their theatre school ambitions.
Transferable skills
Regardless of your experience in the arts, at Razzamataz we look for franchisees who have excellent people skills. You will need to put customer service as your top priority and we can teach you all the skills that you need in PR & Marketing, recruitment, business plans, child safety, audits and so much more. We believe that whatever career that you have come from, you will be able to transfer your skills with the right training and support.
Lifestyle
One of our top performing franchisees is turning over in excess of £250k so if you have the will to succeed then we have all the support and training to help you to get there. Whether that’s through yearly Conferences, regional meetings, Zoom support calls, free training sessions and regular webinars there really is no end of options available.
Support from a franchise
The good news is that you don’t need to have had previous experience if you go down the franchise route. What you will need is a can-do attitude, bags of enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
