Dramatic New Venture
A BRAND NEW, exciting children’s theatre company offering the highest quality training in dance, drama and musical theatre for children of all ages and abilities has just opened its doors in Blackheath.
The Little Children’s Theatre Company is an entirely one-off
venture, rather than a franchise, headed by a Principal (Saphron Smith) who has taught children dance, drama and singing for 20 years and trained at CBBC’s “School for Stars”. The theatre school runs on Wednesday evenings from 5 to 7:30pm and each child takes part in sessions of drama, dance and musical theatre. Children gain a solid and comprehensive foundation of theatrical skills from which to build on and gain self-confi dence - not only for the theatre and the arts, but for life in general. Come and try us out at our next free session on Wednesday the 15th February and bring your friends. For full information go to the theatre’s website:
