Act One Beginners

The school opened in April 2003 by Beverly Hewitt, and currently runs 4 age-based drama classes a week: Juniors (7-9/10 years), Seniors (10-12/13years), Advanced (12/13–15 years) and Graduates (15-19 years). In addition the school offers private tuition to prepare students for LAMDA exams, competitive festivals and auditions. We have staged large scale musicals for students from across the school, as well as plays for our older students, provided cast for a variety of local amateur and professional productions and events, and held Prizegiving and Showcase days.

At Act One Beginners we run well planned and structured classes through which the children are encouraged to discover and develop their own talents and self-confidence in a fun and exciting way. In addition, the Advanced and Graduates classes complement GCSE and A Level drama studies, introducing students to the theory as well as the practice of drama, along with a variety of production and playwriting skills.
