Youth Theatre presentations have the parents in stitches!

All Our Youth Theatre classes (13-18yrs) impressed their parents with some fine performances with scripts, monologues, small group improvisations , theatre games and much much more! Our fantastic youth theatre programme gives the students an excellent platform  in performance skills should they wish to take acting as a career. It also helps them in public speaking, presentation skills and consequently it will  make them effective communicators. Above all ,our classes are great fun and they just keep coming!!

Upper Primary classes present "The Legend of William Tell" !

Our Upper Primary classes (9-12 yrs) impressed their  parents with  a short structured scene based on "The Legend of William Tell'. This part of our fantastic programme teaches our students about performing on stage including miming skills, adlibbing, stage awareness, voice projection and character building. Our curriculum is also diverse and our students learn  about different cultures and periods of history through the media of drama, making it fun and interesting. The kids really enjoyed dressing up and getting into character with some great performances by our various William Tell's and Gessler- the Austrian tyrant!!

Oh no ! Not another Fall,he's always slipping off that wall!

Our lower primary parent days in all our studios were a great hit with the parents. All the children dressed up as their favourite storybook characters and met in the town square to talk about their stories. Unfortunately, Humpty Dumpty kept on falling off his wall, but Little Miss Muffet came to his rescue. Parent days give our parents the opportunity to observe various components of our fantastic programme and to see how it helps develop confidence, social and communication skills!
