Classes
Drama classes run weekly throughout the school term and are a great opportunity for participants to develop drama skills as well as social & emotional life skills. Classes provide a safe environment to meet new people, to share stories, express creativity and grow in confidence.
We have three Troupes catering for ages 5-17. There is a limit of 16 participants per class.

This introduction to Drama is simple, fun, engaging and structured.
