Fall 2010

Its been a busy term for our students, and much fun has been had creating and playing with drama.  We are always one of the first places casting directors come to when needing birmingham talent.  Most recently the Birmingham REP, have liaised with us on a forth coming production.  So if you are 17 and can sing and dance, let us at The Drama Place know! 

We have had some fantastic taster sessions this Month with Joseph Chamberlain College and Kings Heath Primary school.  Even though both groups differed massively in age their enthusiasm and creativity were equal. Many students have now booked their places for next term, so book yours now and don't miss out! 

We have taster sessions planned throughout December with Bishop Challoner School and Baverstock School.  The Drama Place is getting very busy, so busy infact that we are in negotiations to move to a bigger space, with cutting edge facilities and technology available to us.  Keep watching.

Session Leader Donnaleigh Bailey has been asked to present an award at this years Midlands Short Film Awards.  Congratulations Donnaleigh, we want to hear all the gossip!
