Welcome to 2014!!

Classes for our studio run on a three term year (Beaulieu Prep) commence Sat 18 January.

We are looking forward to seeing all our students soon!!

Physical and Educational theatre form part of our dynamic curriculum

Our Youth Theatre classes for ages 13-18 are busy working on an exciting physical and educational theatre piece that they will be performing at our end of year show! This particular piece was written by our Cape Town principal and it deals with all forms of discrimination - not only found in South Africa but worldwide!

The students are loving the freedom of coming up with their own ideas and although we have only just started we have seen some amazing things from our awesome youth theatre groups!

With the Youth Theatre in charge we had a very smooth Parent Presentation at our Wierda Park studio

Last Friday we had the privilege of watching our very talented students as they took to the stage for their Mid Year Parent Presentation! From our littlest student all the way through to our teenagers the audience was entertained! It was clear from the laughter and clapping that they thoroughly enjoyed the show!!

Holidays are almost over and term 2 is almost here!

Drama classes start on Tuesday 9 April!
We are looking forward to seeing all our students again after the holidays!

Term 2 is a very exciting term as we work towards our Parent Presentation in June!
