Acting classes for children aged 5-12 years and acting classes for teenagers aged 13-17 years are very popular. We believe Drama has the power to aid focus and memory as well as stretching the imagination. We recognise its ability to develop social, team and communication skills whilst giving us time to switch off from the world. Drama promotes positive mental health and makes us feel happy.

We run 1:1 and group acting classes for children in and out of school. We offer after-school Drama clubs for schools as well as Drama enrichment workshops for inset days.

The audience is made up of local people and all of the cast come from the acting classes within our academy. We invest in and embrace the development of children and young people through giving them a chance to perform in a professional production.

We pride ourselves in creating memorable theatre in education productions that are relatable and true to life, ensuring the messages are received by young audiences. We tackle the immediate issues young people face including gang and knife crime, county lines, preventing extremism, reducing self-harm, cyber bullying and violence against women and girls. We utilise actors and youth workers to create pieces with true validity. We tour theatre in schools, Christmas pantomimes in West Yorkshire and educational theatre.
