What we offer

What some of our parents and students have to say

We are very pleased to enroll our daughter at DRAMA SCENE. We chose Musical Theater as a trial class and she fell in love with it instantly. We wanted a drama school where she could further develop her talents, hone her singing skills, enhance her stage confidence without too much stress and pressure. We wanted it to be a fun way of learning so as to have an outlet. So far Drama Scene have provided all of this for us. Our daughter is happy and settled. Her teachers are very supportive and responsive. Front desk staff, specifically Chloe, has been and consistently been very helpful and is such good listeners whenever we have queries and doubts. In fact, our daughter received a Distinction for her first ever LAMDA examination. Thanks to DRAMA SCENE

DRAMA SCENE has been brilliant for my kids confidence, public speaking and presentation skills. They have a certain polish and eloquence that comes with standing in front of an audience to perform. All 3 have been doing LAMDA Acting Exams since they were 8 years old and have excelled to date attaining Distinctions. We’re going back for more this year as they start preparing for their next graded LAMDA exam.

I want to thank you all and thank all the wonderful teachers for their hard work. A special mention to Ms. Emma, her acting teacher. A big thank you to Chloe and Rubaiya for all their help. It was my daughter's first time in DRAMA SCENE. The ladies were very friendly and helpful. They really encouraged her to enroll in Term 3, 2024, and she ended up loving it. My family and my guests had an amazing time watching the brilliant production. The children did a fabulous job. They showed great talent and an apparent love for acting, singing, and dancing!
My daughter had one of the greatest experiences in her teen life, practicing and performing. She did not want to miss one day of practice even on her tough days. She is so motivated not just to come back from her summer holiday and start with you again, but she even wishes that she can still repeat the same show now! Footloose is what I hear all the time. She even started to create some ideas to share with her teacher for later on. 🙂
That is how joyed and inspired she was.
A big thank you again to the whole team.

My son has been taking acting classes at DRAMA SCENE for 4 years now since the age of 6.
It was the best decision we've made as attending the classes and all the learning and activities that took place, helped him with improving his speech, English pronunciation, focus, building confidence and in general having a positive life outlook. He has grown into a confident, playful child who sees fun in everything he does. He does not shy away from speaking in front of his peers at school, public or speaking up for himself. We really loved that Karen, his teacher, used to send weekly progress updates via emails after each class to all the parents in the group. Thank you!

— Maria Boskovic

My daughter has been going for acting/drama classes at DRAMA SCENE for quite some years now and she really enjoys the experience. The teachers are helpful in both regular classes as well as exam preparation. The reception staff are friendly and very quick to reply on any queries we have . Have always found the staff accommodating in their scheduling . I recommend this place for anyone who has kids interested in drama / creative experiences

Our elder daughter, Ilham, joined DRAMA SCENE when she was only 4 years old and now she is a confident 10 year old who loves to act, debate, speak and sing. DRAMA SCENE Team has a big part to play in how she is today. They have helped her bring out her performing arts skills focusing on her strengths of communication, drama and music. This in turn has helped her in school life and she has won endless leadership positions, performance awards, end of year awards, writing and debate competitions year after year. Seeing Ilham’s progress, we enrolled our younger daughter, Jehan, at 4 as well and we are happy to see her grow from a shy little girl to an amazing outgoing 6 year old. She has unleashed hidden talents and have already sang on the stage several times at her school. We cannot thank the team of DRAMA SCENE enough for instilling stage confidence and a passion for theatre in both of my daughter’s, making them the stars they are today.

— Anum Fawad

Fun, engaging classes with stellar feedback to grow the confidence of young ones in speaking publicly. My child has been in DRAMA SCENE since she was 3, so going on to nearly 6 years of being taught by them. The teachers are kind and competent. This term has been particularly good owing to smaller class sizes.

— Samreen Ahsan

Attending DRAMA SCENE has done wonders for my daughter, she is so much more confident and this has had a positive impact on her school grades. Her teacher is amazing and has effortlessly brought out the best in my daughter. I would unhesitatingly recommend DRAMA SCENE.

— Nita Mahalingham

We learnt about DRAMA SCENE’S existence thanks to the PCR testing in the Saudi German clinic in August 2020. The waiting time gave us enough time to run around the mall and there I came across DS. I suggested it to my daughter and first thought the Public Speaking would be a good activity, as they are presenting at school various projects and to have a strong voice and know how to get rid of the stage fright is a must. She however opted for acting classes, and she loves them! Also this type of activity helps her to work with her voice, we need to be actors in our life a bit, not to reveal our emotions especially on the workplace, in business. So I believe this activity will contribute to her future career.

— Zuzana Berger

I feel so comfortable and at ease with taking my 6 year old daughter to DRAMA SCENE given the current COVID situation we are in. The place is sparkling clean all times of the day and COVID protocols are strictly being followed. The teachers are very nice, easy to communicate with and passionate about what they are doing. If you are looking for a place where your child can have fun, build more self-confidence and learn creative skills in a safe and friendly environment, I highly recommend you contact DRAMA SCENE to book a trial class.

— Lucinda

Our two children, 14 and 7, look forward to their Saturday classes at DRAMA SCENE - they're benefiting from a nurturing environment that helps them both build confidence and creativity. They've both really benefitted from the classes which is in no small part thanks to their friendly, supportive teachers.

— Jameel Khan

I highly recommend Drama scene for every child. My daughter Alysha has been with DRAMA SCENE for almost a year.
Alysha was a child who was always in her shell, lacked confident and unable to express her emotions in the right way. Since being with DRAMA SCENE , Alysha has showed an amazing change and has unleashed talents that we never knew existed in our child. Just after a few classes the child has become confident, extremely social with children her age, understanding of emotions especially her friends and most of all taking part in activities she would normally sit out for. She brought home her first trophy winning her school talent show at only age 4.
Thank you DRAMA SCENE for bringing out the star in Alysha . She has formed such a strong love and passion for theatre, which we would not have known if it was not for DRAMA SCENE. Look forward to starting the new term.

Our eldest daughter, Sarah has been with DRAMA SCENE since she was 5 years. Her remarkable transformation from a very shy, timid little girl to the confident, outgoing 10-year old she is now, happened all because of DRAMA SCENE. Being in DRAMA SCENE with their well- qualified and dedicated teachers not only helped Sarah bring out her performing arts skills, but also helped develop her concentration and communication skills. Which in turn, has immensely contributed to her academic development as well. We have enrolled our youngest daughter, Lavena since she was 4 years and all the positive changes that we started seeing in her development ever since, were well anticipated. DRAMA SCENE has been the best decision we have made regarding our children’s education. I strongly suggest to any parent, particularly those who are looking to improve self-confidence in their little one, to give them the gift of DRAMA SCENE.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for yesterday’s performances. Amazing how all the kids performed I was so impressed!
I have spent 5 years at the actor studio in NY I can tell you that your results are astonishing. I was so proud of my little Thea who is facing so many learning difficulties at school that she managed it so well and I am so sure you are giving her that confidence.
So a heartfelt thank you from me. Have a wonderful day with the rest of your performances.

— Annie

Dear DRAMA SCENE
EACH one of your passion, support - I repeat, SUPPORT - is what shone for every child on that stage and through them yesterday!
For us honestly, we just joined with you this past year. Each one of us is good at a couple of things, not all... I know my Amaan is having a blast each class, but I had not much/any involvement in his end performance - besides love, SUPPORT, and transport. This was at our end. And boy, did you all hold your end!
It's amazing when a student can say ``I got this`` and even if there were a different way of expression, a prompt to say you got this cause I got your back, that smile before and after... this is the essence that needs to be remembered.
Thank you and just each of you keep being you!
