Faerie Glen Upper Primary and Youth Theatre Classes on Monday afternoons

Movement, mime, mini scripts, monologues, mesmerising performances - we cover it all at the Helen O' Grady Drama Academy!!

TERM 4 GETS UNDER WAY...

Our Academy year is divided into 4 terms. Terms 1, 2 & 3 are devoted to an extensive, developmental programme and Term 4 aims to amalgamate many of the drama and life skills taught during the year into a finished product - the Year End Production.  This is a very exciting and rewarding time for our students as it affords them, one and all, an opportunity to be part of a very successful venture!  I know many of you reading this have first hand experience of our year end shows and fully appreciate the joy they bring to students, parents and teachers alike!
