Performing Arts students take to the stage at Oxford’s Old Fire Station

29th Jan 2026

Our brilliant Performing Arts students recently stepped into the spotlight at Oxford’s Old Fire Station, in their powerful and uplifting performance of Anybody Have a Map? The show provided students with the opportunity to showcase their talent, passion, and individuality on a professional stage, while working collaboratively in a real-world performance environment.

Bursting with energy and emotion, Anybody Have a Map? explored the twists and turns of life’s journeys, from moments of joy and ambition to uncertainty and self-discovery. Through a vibrant mix of musical theatre favourites and pop anthems, students sang, danced and performed their way through the universal question: are we following a plan, or finding our own way as we go?

The production featured standout ensemble moments alongside powerful solo and small-group performances, with songs from Dear Evan Hansen, Wicked, A Chorus Line, Anastasia, Kinky Boots, and more. Every student played a vital role in bringing the show to life, demonstrating not only performance skills but teamwork, professionalism, and connection with the audience.

Performing at a professional venue like the Old Fire Station is a key part of our Performing Arts courses, giving students invaluable real-world experience in front of live, paying audiences. The show highlighted the breadth of skills developed on the course and the confidence students gain through larger-scale productions.

Anybody Have a Map? was a true celebration of student talent, showcasing weeks of hard work and creativity - and a proud moment for everyone involved.
