'GIVING YOUR CHILD THE GIFT OF INSPIRATION'

DRAMA FACTORY CLASSES take place at Hala St Pauls every Tuesday term time..

6pm till 7pm

Ginny Scott: [email protected] or 07902 141 384 to register.

'Fun weekly classes which guarantee to improve your child's confidence and vocal skills.'

ALL CHILDREN have TALENT of some unique kind or another. We at Drama Factory, for the past 30 years, have been doing our very best to nurture that creativity. We believe it is as important as literacy and numeracy; and often the skills acquired are more useful in our everyday lives. Our ethos is to nurture and inspire these gifts in our pupils.
Below are some comments about Drama Factory.

Anita Peacock (Parent): I have had 5 children attend drama factory over the years and in that time, I slowly watched my sons develop invaluable skills that will hold them in good stead for the future. Drama Factory is not just for children with a desire to act. Learning to speak clearly, articulately and to respond to comments and questions with speed, wisdom and when appropriate humour, are attributes that have helped them in interviews, making friends and in other social situations. As well as having a lot of fun the students at drama factory, develop skills in working as a team, performing on stage, sharing creativity, planning, and improvising. The skills and confidence my sons have learned in drama will prove useful in all their chosen careers.

Richard Layzell (ex-pupil): If I had not attended drama factory I would be not be as confident as I am today. The skills I learnt there are invaluable now I am at University.

Ella Jarman ex-pupil): Drama Factory offers the chance for you to explore acting in a diverse and creative way. Taught by excellent tutors, every lesson teaches you something new about performance, and offers you the chance to develop your self-confidence, stage presence and vocal skills in a friendly and professional environment.

Nicky Parker (Adult Pupil): Drama Factory is a wonderful place, where you learn new skills and make new friends. It is clear the teachers know their stuff, and they encourage, develop, and challenge you in equal measure. It is great to learn about theatre and performance, but you also learn many transferable skills, which can be applied in everyday situations. I would recommend Drama Factory to anyone!
