If you are between the ages of 13 and 18yrs come join us at our Youth Theatre at Die Meelvloer in Annlin...

The Youth Theatre programme we offer at Helen O' grady Drama 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. In the fourth term each class begins work on a scripted production which they put on for their parent and friends at the end of the year!! Right here in Annlin we have a wonderful group of teens who thoroughly enjoy coming together on Wednesday evenings at the Meelvloer (behind Wonderboom Junction)

YOUTH THEATRE STUDENTS EACH BROUGHT AN "ADULT" TO DO DRAMA ALONGSIDE THEM!

What an incredible end to term 1! Our Youth Theatre students also took part in our Bring A Grown Up Day! Now we see where they get their natural talent !! Mothers,sisters, uncles,cousins and friends showed off their talent and interacted with the students! What FUN!!!!

 Students paired up with their "adult" and performed Prop Snippets - each scene was so different and unique!!
