…a wealth of themes immediately relevant to teenagers…the massed audience sat in an engrossed silence broken only by laughter at the right places, their audience’s reaction was proof positive that they had got it just right.”
Dick Louden, The Herald 1995
Amazing drama group for anyone interested in increasing their confidence and self esteem in a fun, supportive and creative environment. Rebecca who runs it is amazing.
