Summer School - Play in a Week at Alma Tavern and Theatre

About

Does your 8 - 12 year old love performing?

Participants can develop their drama skills through games, imaginative play, role play, and storytelling.

They'll go from page to stage in just one week, culminating in a family showcase at the end!

Under the supervision of Anna Friend, a professional drama teacher, director, and performer, they will learn how to collaborate in an ensemble piece, having fun along the way.

Anna Friend completed her PGCE at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama before founding and running Quirky Bird Theatre for nine years, specializing in tutoring young people ages 4-19 in performance. Her professional young company had exclusive touring rights to Dennis Kelly's DNA for four years, touring schools and professional venues. She is currently teaching Drama at St Mary's Calne in Wiltshire, one of the top-performing schools in the country.

Anna is a seasoned director and performer. She co-founded the Alma's in-house company, Schoolhouse Productions, and recently debuted her solo autobiographical production at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which she will be touring across the country this spring.
