We are incredibly excited to introduce the next chapter of We Are Hazza Theatre School as we continue our mission to provide outstanding theatre training for the next generation.
We know that change can feel a little daunting, but every new beginning starts with one important step and for us, that step is our brand new identity.
Introducing Hazza Theatre Academy (HTA). 💙
From September 2026, we will officially begin operating under our new name as we continue to grow, evolve, and strive to deliver top class training for generations to come. Over the next few months, you’ll start to notice some exciting changes, including a new website, refreshed branding, updated staff uniform, and much more.
We also know many of you may be wondering what this means for existing uniform. Don’t worry, all current uniform and show T-shirts can still be worn, as we remain committed to reducing waste and being as sustainable as possible. New HTA uniform will be available to purchase from September for anyone wanting an upgrade, but existing uniform will continue to be accepted right through until our Summer 2028 production.
So, why the change?
Following the closure of our event company in 2025, we felt our previous name and identity no longer truly reflected who we are and where we are heading. After all… most people already call us “Hazza” anyway! We wanted a name that better represents our professionalism, ambition and commitment as we take the next step in expanding our training and opportunities as part of a wider vision for our company.
As always, we cannot thank you enough for the incredible support you have shown us over the years. We are so excited for the future, and this is only the beginning.
We hope you love our shiny new name and logo as much as we do… and get ready to see a lot more blue around!

What happens to my current uniform?
Don’t worry, all current uniform and show T-shirts can still be worn, as we remain committed to reducing waste and being as sustainable as possible. New HTA uniform will be available to purchase from September for anyone wanting an upgrade, but existing uniform will continue to be accepted right through until our Summer 2028 production - this means if you have recently bought a 'We Are Hazza' T-Shirt or hoodie, you can still wear it for another 2 years (if you don't outgrow it by then!).
What is changing?
Over the next coming months you will notice a change in our appearance. A new website, shiny new staff uniform, leaflets, signage and branding. It's nothing to worry about, we're just having a 'glow-up'!
We have big plans for the future including: a full freshen up of our course offering, introducing a levelled performance, grading system for our students, an all new timetable, new class offerings plus much more. Our new 2026/27 timetable will be announced after May half term with our new systems, policies and more information.
​
This change is purely to benefit our students. We want to push ourselves and our students further in our training. We have provided some of the best training locally for many years now, but it's time to amp it up and trust us when we say, it's going to be exciting!
Our plan...
Below is our *outline* plans for our future. We are so grateful for everyones support so we want to be completely transparent & open about our plans for the future as we gear up to produce the next generation of West End stars and define our training. Please note these are very *rough* outlines of our plans and as you know, things might not always go to plan!
