We offer weekly classes in drama (acting) or performing arts (incorporating acting, singing, and dance) for students aged 4 to 18 years. We have a specially designed rolling curriculum across all age groups and course types. Each year, our choice of material, genre and focus changes, allowing students to spend three terms exploring and developing a specific set of new skills and experiences, and realise them through performance. Meanwhile, regardless of the material being explored, we simultaneously return to basic strategies and techniques that are common to all live performance work, thereby building on the work of previous years. Our objective is to offer complete and exciting opportunities for those who may be with us for one or two years, whilst also providing life-long learning based on a rich set of contrasting experiences for our long-term students.
New Student Trial Period
At Simply Theatre, instilling a passion and love of theatre is at the heart of the opportunities we provide. It is very important for us that the students that are in our courses, want to be there and love being there! With the exception of specific trial classes in May, we do not offer one-week trial classes. Students need several weeks to understand whether this is an activity they want to keep doing all year long. We therefore set the whole first half term to end October as a trial period for new students. During this time, should a student decide to leave, then any unused fees are refunded.

Stage 1 Drama (7-9)
Building on the skills developed in ’Mini-Dramas’, students now begin to explore the role of the voice and body in acting, as well as continuing to use theatre games, exercises, and scenarios to explore drama in order to enhance both their theatrical and social skills. The emphasis on play and fun is maintained, and they are also introduced to a variety of disciplines such as improvisation, movement, devising, text, and characterisation.
Our Stage 1 Drama Courses are 75 minutes per week
