Theatre Games July Holiday Programme (Ages 7+)

Let the games begin! Have fun, meet new friends and build your performance skills as you play hilarious theatre games that encourage creativity and spontaneity.

Theatre games are a great way for building the acting and improvisation skills of young performers. Through imaginative play, children will learn how to use their voice and body to improve their communication skills and creative expression.
