The Court Theatre's drama classes offer an opportunity for children and young people to develop performance and creative thinking skills in a fun environment.
Each class runs for 8 weeks, except for Term 3 which runs for the full term working towards a showcase performed for whānau! Led by professional theatre makers, participants learn skills around acting, voice, devising and how to work creatively as part of a team - abilities that will stay with them for life.
