Mime to Music Week.

This week we had an interesting time pretending to be cave people for a mime to music.

While Youth Theater teens got stuck into some quick-fire scripts.

Fun classes - learning skills.

We have just completed our second week back and there is not end to the fun and learning.

2014 is upon us!

Countdown to classes starting up for 2014!
Some things you should know: -

* I am starting Wednesdays up again, but this time in the Northern area. If you feel Wednesdays fit your schedule better, come join us! Wednesdays are usually Netball Match days, I know and many of you are involved with that.
* There has been a request in LANGENHOVEN PARK for a Kindy class (3 to 6 year olds). If we can get a class of 5 or more children together, I will start teaching a Kindy class there.

Happy 2014 everyone!!

Countdown to Productions

Costumes, props, last minute preparations!  Rehearsals are continuing.

Every individual has a chance to shine at the Helen O'Grady Darama Academy!

Re-enrollment time!

Don't forget to return your blue re-enrollment forms this week! 

To qualify for your discount and your smarties!

Rehearsal Term in full swing!

Learning lines and getting into character is always fun in our classes!

A little relaxation fun.

Rehearsals are tough and sometimes we need to let loose.  Trying to untangle the spider-web!

 The boys did it easily.  But there are fewer of them!

Back to rehearsals everyone.

Rehearsals forge ahead!

Preparing for the 23rd November.  All parents check your timetables that were sent home last week.  Times for the plays are set. Note there is a REHEARSAL TIME, as this is the first opportunity our young actors will have actually ON THE STAGE for this year's plays, and will just need to orientate themselves.  Audience enters the theater at the time marked PERFORMANCE on the timetables.  Any problems or queries, contact me! :)

Lebone Village enjoying drama classes

Lebone Village is very excited about their Year-end play this year!

Lots of running around required.











Energy needed so sandwiches and juice always welcome.  Boys at their 'makeshift' table.

Girls taking a breather during production practice.

The children of Lebone Village are amazing kids! On Production day don't rush off after your own Play is over, stay to watch these young budding actors perform. It will make your day.

Saturday 23d November. Scaena Theater.  Lebone Village is performing in session Two. Audience seated by 12 midday.
