Erica Girls' Start Rehearsals!

Girls at Erica Girls' Primary had a ball in class today as they started rehearsing for their Year End Productions! After 3 terms of working on confidence, creativity, stage skills and communication, our students are ready to showcase the skills they learn in a short, scripted production. We take our productions to the Savoy Theatre, giving our student a full theatre experience.

Uitenhage Youth Theatre Monologue Excellence!

Our teenagers at Uitenhage Youth Theatre never cease to amaze! The quality of the monologues that they produced today was astounding - well done to their amazing teacher, Natalie, for the exceptional training she has given her charges this year. It is heart warming to see the extent of the development that has taken place in students that have been with us for only a couple of terms, as well as in students who have been with us for many years. Our students exude confidence as they perform for their peers! Memorizing lines also comes easily - a skill that carries our students through tests and exams at school as well.

Well done Uitenhage - we are so ready for those Year End plays!

Our Saturday morning classes are particularly popular with working parents, and we have over 80 students attending between our Newton Park studio and our Profiles Gym studio.
