a little bit about us
We don’t like to think of ourselves as your ‘conventional theatre group’. We aim to build our classes and productions around our student and are always open to ideas and change. We actively encourage the students to add dance moves, jokes, script suggestions into our productions and build our scripts around the student’s improvisations. We want our students ‘imagination to be our inspiration’
