YOU COULDN'T MAKE THIS UP!!!

Diary of a drama teacher...

In my 10 years + of drama teaching no one has ever locked me IN the building before - but I guess there's a first time for everything!

Last night I arrived at my Heslington class to find the door open and a workman leaving the building. I smiled, said hello and went in to start setting up. 5 minutes later I decided to nip to the loo. Good job I did. The workman had left, shut the door AND LOCKED IT BEHIND HIM!!! I know buildings need to be left secure - but with the next user safely inside??? Good job I noticed before all the children started arriving!

Last week saw us start rehearsals for our summer performances in all our classes. Each week this term we practice the play and develop characters through exciting, dramatic activities with every child fully involved with great enthusiasm in every rehearsal. No one gets bored at Drama Kids and DK Youth Theatre!

Join us for the fun of summer production term. Unique ensemble plays include all children throughout. You aren't paying for your child to sit around waiting. If they want a line (or more) great! If they don't - they don't have to speak. We adapt our classes and performances to every child in the class. And that includes yours :)
