Act 3 Stage School offers kids acting classes and caters for students aged between 4 and 18 years.

Research has shown that students who are involved in creative activities such as drama; build more confidence and self esteem, develop superior communication skills (both listening and speaking), and increase their social skills.
 
Within a supportive and positive environment 4 - 18 year olds are motivated and inspired to learn about the fundamentals of acting though improvisation and theatre games. Each class lesson aims to deliver a specific theme of acting so your child will be having fun, stimulating their imagination and learning at the same time.  Act 3 uses a curriculum which is developed for each class.
