Drama Schol for Littl'ens

Looking for a REPUTABLE drama school for about a five year old. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Barking Gecko Theatre Company specializes in childrens theatre and has an excellent program for kids ranging from after school workshops to holiday programs.

My niece who is now 10 has been attending Helen O'grady's drama acadamy since she was about 6 and she absolutely loves it. I was a little sceptical at first but she convinced me.

leah:

the WA College of Performing Arts is situated in Morley and teaches the arts to children from the ages of four to adult. teaches in dance, drama, acro, music, ballet, jazz, pointe etc etc.
very good drama program with good teachers and the principal is Pettine-Ann Croul MBE ATCL, LTCL, FTCL, LRSM, MTC, FAMTA, MIMT .

I'd second Helen O'Grady's - I went there til last year. Its a lot of fun, nothing too serious, kiddies get a chance to perform in front of people (they have a panto style show at the end of each year) and there are studios all over Perth...

And its rumoured that they have such comprehensive lesson plans, if you start at age 5 and continue until age 17, you will never once repeat a lesson - try it and see, I guess...

i attended Helen O'Grady when i was 5ish and going there made me love drama, infact i am now 16 and starting to work professional. Its a great school for kids.
