Best drama school
We’re so glad we found Young Drama school for my 9 year old daughter who loves performing and acting. She had the best experience in learning and making new friends at the drama school and the teaching staff are great in supporting each kid in their learning journey. The school offers great opportunities for each kid to preform various roles to their full potential. Great show at the end of the term at a professional stage setting and it’s a treat to all parents to see them shine on the stage. My daughter loves coming back each term.

A wonderful experience
What a wonderful experience for our daughter. From the auditions to the performance, she loved attending these drama sessions. She made new friends and the teachers were amazing. To perform to such a high standard in the time they had is credit to all involved. We even got professional photos to remember the experience. If your child is interested in joining, I would certainly recommend this company.
