Young people beginning their training at our drama school can choose an acting, musical theatre or production pathway. While both musical theatre and acting students will study most elements of performing arts, acting pathway students focus more on screen acting, contemporary and classical texts, while our musical theatre students explore singing technique, dance and acting through song. Production arts students focus on film production, theatre sound & lighting, producing, directing, and writing.
