We hope you all had a wonderful summer holiday! We are starting to plan and prepare for a wonderful time back to drama this coming term! Very exciting! We have missed you all!

Our senior youth group aged 16-20 years, were very busy during a week in August, creating a play in a week, ‘Dona Rosita’ by Frederico Garcia Lorca, which Becky adapted specifically for this group.

They played to sold out audiences and pulled off incredible moving performances, with only 3 full days of rehearsals! Quite something! Such a talented group of young people, who spoke fluent Spanish, (as well as English) played the guitar, sang, added a little flamenco and communicated the text through BSL, all in one performance! 

This term, we introduce a new group for parents to attend with children aged under 5 years, on a Friday morning at Printers Playhouse from 11.15am-12noon. The drop in price per week is £5 per family, to start with. Please contact us if you would like to attend this new group. We used to run a group for this age before the COVID period, so we thought it was time to start it up again. 

All first session’s are free for a trial lesson, for new students. 

Please note: Fees are now £9 for an hour session and £10 for an hour and a half session.

What does this new year hold in store!

Our very talented community group, will be performing ‘Alice in Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll/Brainerd Duffield on the 28th November at 7pm & on the 29th November at 2pm and 7pm, 2026, at The Grove Theatre, Eastbourne. Please see the poster attached. Tickets will be available for this very soon.

Our Youth group have the chance to go on a trip to the Globe to see ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ on the 17th October. They will start auditioning for Much Ado About Nothing in term 2 then start rehearsing for it from then, onwards. They will also start working on LAMDA group devising exams in term 1 and take these in term 3 or 4.
