We had so much fun Dressing up for our play 'Fun in the Sun' at our Saturday studio in Beaulieu!

WOW! Lots of cool props and fun outfits - these helped to bring our play 'Fun in the Sun' alive and the students really enjoyed themselves! Thank you to parents and students for remembering to bring your props! Enjoy half term and we'll see you all back on the 3 March :-)

Rehearsals at our Beaulieu Studio for our Year End Productions have started!!

Students are gearing up to begin working on their Year End Productions! Studios all over Gauteng are waiting in anticipation to hear what play their class will be presenting... The benefits of having children on stage in a relaxed atmosphere, where they work alongside their peers in successful groups, are enormous. Students across Pretoria and South Africa gain oodles of confidence thanks to their exposure to the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy.

HOW CUTE ARE THE SADDLEBROOK MICE??

The children at our Saddlebrook Estate studio all pretended to be mice in their weekly play - they loved having their faces painted which added to the excitement of the play!!
These classes are only available to children living in Saddlebrook Estate, however just up the road at Beaulieu Prep School we offer classes to ages 5 - 18yrs on Saturday mornings. Students from many different schools attend this studio, where principal Juliet Jordaan is their teacher!
