Drama - Theatrics

Pretend at its Best!

If your child is interested in acting, get them involved in actual acting classes! Drama & theatrics are a fantastic introduction to acting because kids can really develop a love for the art if they're so inclined - or have fun anyway! They'll learn the craft and understand the amount of work and dedication it really takes to be an actor!
