Recording Studio in ACTion!

Hard at work in our Recording-Studio-by-Night-Office-by-Day, we finalized the recording and editing of one of our original songs for the Year End Productions. Professional singer and entertainer, Niqui Cloete-Barrass is our expert voice-over artist. This song is one of several original songs distributed internationally throughout the Helen O'Grady network.

Production Excitement!

Port Elizabeth students are gearing up to begin working on their Year End Productions! Studios all over the city are waiting in anticipation to hear what play their class will be presenting... The benefits of having children on stage in A relaxed atmosphere, where they work alongside their peers in successful groups, are enormous. Students across Port Elizabeth and South Africa gain oodles of confidence thanks to their exposure to the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy.

Developmental Drama in Port Elizabeth

For thirteen years, the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy has run a unique, developmental drama programme. This incredible programme has seen thousands of Eastern Cape children build confidence, self-esteem, communication skills and creativity, freeing themselves to be assertive and successful as adults. Classes are held weekly, and cater for students aged 3 years to 18 years old. The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy is not only the largest drama academy in the Eastern Cape, but also the largest drama academy in South Africa.

Kindy Drama is Amazing

Pre-schoolers can also enjoy our international developmental drama programme! Classes for ages 3 - 5 year olds run in three locations across Port Elizabeth: Newton Park; Walmer and the Profiles Health Club on William Moffet Drive.

We are also able to offer our programme exclusively to pre-primary schools in the area.

Activities include speech development; language and vocabulary development; story telling; mime; creative movement and dramatic play. The emphasis is on fun, ensuring our little tots learn in a friendly and unintimidating atmosphere!
