Debbie has also worked extensively in Youth Theatre. She worked for seven years for Westminster Theatre Arts Project which was a borough-wide project aiming to get disadvantaged teenagers off the streets and into the theatre. Highlights of the project include performing at the London Palladium, filming at ITV studios on the South Bank and, in collaboration with English National Opera, staging a jazz version of Rigoletto which saw ENO opera singers starring alongside a teenage cast. She was also involved in the Miracles Project which sought to reach hundreds of young people in inner-London boroughs through the performing arts. The performance took place at the Royal Albert Hall and Debbie conducted The London Musici to accompany the singers - a career highlight! Debbie also worked with Best Shot Theatre Company in Wimbledon, Younger Generation in Croydon, Redroofs Theatre School on musical theatre students graduation shows and Centre Stage Theatre School which she set up and ran for eight years with partner Linda Davies. The pair also went on to run Abacus Agency, a theatrical agency for children, teenagers and young adults in film, television and theatre. They relinquished the helm after eleven years and Debbie continued to work for the company for a further five years..
