WELCOME TO 2013!!!!!!!!

We wish all our students and their families a very Happy and Healthy 2013!

Drama commences week starting Monday 14 January 2013 (see below for details)

We look forward to seeing all our students back in ACTion!! And we would like to extend a warm welcome to our new students joining this year!


Vice Principal – Larisa Grove
We are very pleased to announce that Larisa Grove has been appointed Vice-Principal of the Helen O’Grady Drama Academy in Pretoria. With over 500 students (and growing!) it will be very good to have someone of her calibre to assist with the day-to-day running of the Academy, the development of the staff and the continued nurturing of your special children. Having been with the Academy for some years now, many of you already know her, she has excellent teaching skills and she is the epitome of our positive self-development programme.


As the largest Drama Academy in South Africa, we promote confidence, communication skills, presentation skills and creativity in children aged 3 – 18 years! 

We achieve this by focussing on speech; basic movement and mime; creative improvisation; and dialogue development – everything your child needs to learn to be confident and communicate effectively while having fun!

The Youth Theatre programme, for ages 13-18years, we offer in the Academy is one of self development. Our prime aim is to give students ongoing confidence and skill in verbal communication. We do this through a balanced theatre arts programme covering speech, advanced improvisation, structured small group improvisation, script work, character analysis and production techniques
