Ages 4–18
Drama Geeks
Our flagship class - acting, singing and movement in a fun, mixed-age group that performs on real stages every year.
Drama Geeks is our heart - a mixed-age class where children aged 4 to 18 learn together, support each other, and develop real stagecraft and performance skills in a safe, joyful environment.
Sessions focus on the fundamentals of stage acting, vocal harmonies, character development and working as a group towards a full production. No experience needed. Children join at any point in the year and go at their own pace. Sessions run on Saturdays at The Customs House, South Shields, and Thursdays at Cleadon Methodist Church.
Skills we build together
-
Acting Technique
Character work, improvisation, script reading and performance - building confidence on stage through play and practice.
-
Singing & Vocal Work
Group singing, breath control and vocal projection - from simple songs to full musical theatre numbers.
-
Movement & Dance
Choreography, physical storytelling and performance movement - skills that translate across every discipline.
-
Teamwork & Ensemble
Collaboration, listening and trust - the essential skills that make great performers and great people.
-
Confidence & Self-Expression
Every session celebrates effort. Children leave feeling seen, proud, and excited to come back next week.

Cool-down & Share
