Our classes are taught by Douglas Roberts and Mandy Durkin, two locally-based drama educators each with over 20 years experience working with children and young people.

Our Wednesday classes are designed to be intensive, educational and exciting, focussing children’s natural energy into purposeful drama.

This type of drama work is highly creative and ‘hands-on’, using stories, ideas, scenarios and challenges to inspire children to originate their own work, and teaching them how to develop this into engaging stage performance.

Centrestage classes are for children with energy and imagination who are keen to develop drama skills and enjoy performance.

They are equally suited to the needs of boys and girls, targetting the particular and distinctive strengths of each.

Places for all courses can be booked at the Eastgate Theatre, Peebles
