Lyttelton Lower Primary Peforming The Snake Charmer

Our students aged 5 - 9 from our Saturday studio in Lyttelton loved performing their play the Snake Charmer! From the angry Sultan to the love struck Yasmin this play was thoroughly enjoyed by performers and audiences alike!

The Grade 1 and 2 Students from Sagewood School were we teach drama every Friday looked colourful on stage and their performance was fantastic! Well done to you all!

Lyttelton Upper Primary Rehearsing for Fancy That

Children who attend drama classes are naturally more inclined to be confident, have high self-esteem and are able to communicate better. The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy runs drama classes for schools throughout the World and has a large following in South Africa. Using an international curriculum, Helen O’ Grady Drama Academy aims to bring out all the is good in each and every person. Here you can see our wonderful children from our Lyttelton Studio in dramatic action!

Our Upper Primary (grades 4-7) are preparing for their play "Fancy That" which they will perform at the Centurion Theatre in November. From the looks of their rehearsal we think this play will be SPECTACULAR!!!

EXCITEMENT AT BROOKLYN STUDIO AS STUDENTS START REHEARSING FOR YEAR END PRODUCTION

Whether you are a stage star, or nervous at the thought of acting, we will make a place for you on our stage!   Our Brooklyn students are having so much fun rehearsing for their play called 'Fancy That' which they will be performing at Centurion Theatre on the 10 November.

Having Fun at our Wierda Park Studio

 Our Wierda Park students always remember to bring props and dress up for their plays! They had so much fun Going on Holiday - using the props really made the play feel 'real' :-)

We had an unexpected guest at Drama today...luckily he was happy to just sit on the wall outside...

Gauteng Principals and SA Franchisor

On Sunday the Gauteng principals once again joined forces to provide an excellent training day for their teachers. SA Franchisor, Vicky Stroud, travelled up from Port Elizabeth where she too has her own Academy. It was wonderful to have her with us and enlighten us on the new aspects of the curriculum which is constantly worked and revised to keep up with our ever changing society!
