We’re back!!!

Great news! We're back Monday from October 19! Book today via box office 01721 725 777.

Join Jess for weekly fun drama and acting workshops for pre-school children aged 3-5 years. We will be exploring seasonal topics such as autumn, Hallowe’en, fireworks, winter and some festive fun later on in ‘The Seasonal Sessions’ - 8 weeks of creative workshops.

Unleash and develop your creative imagination through spoken word, storytelling, musical appreciation, musical movement, sound effects and drama games, whilst building confidence, making new friends and learning theatre skills. We can’t sing just yet - but there’s much more to theatre than singing and this gives us opportunities to explore a range of performance skills.

Spaces are limited to 12 children. Pre-booking will be essential. If you’d like to enquire about the course for your 3-5 year old in the meantime (usually Mondays at 10am, tbc) then please contact us via this page. Eastgate Box Office is just gearing up to take bookings but you can contact us here in the meantime!
