Children first. This is at the core of our existence, our creativity, and our work for nearly 40 years. A great guiding light , and a never ending source of energy.

I have always felt that there is great power to be able to transport my audience into a different world through fascinating stories and well-rounded characters. There is always a joy that happens when I break the fourth wall and interact with children.

Their reactions of wonderment and surprise, the sparkle in their eyes and the smiles on their faces say so much. This earnestness and enjoyment of theatre and storytelling invigorates me to want to continue creating and making theatre for children.

ACT 3 Drama Academy is a place where every child is given the opportunity to play. Children are encouraged to step out of their comfort zone and empowered to think out of the box, freely articulate their choices and perspectives, whilst engaging in dramatic play.

When I see and hear the children engaged in play in the drama classes at ACT 3 Drama Academy, that sound of laughter and joy fills me with warmth. It is the children’s enthusiasm that ignites the passion in me to want more opportunities for the children to come together to play.

Here, we truly believe in every child and will support them to grow to be confident, articulate and creative Individuals.
