The Importance of Creativity and Self-expression for a Teen
Our Paddington teen drama classes are designed to be a safe and inclusive space where all participants are welcome to explore their creativity, tell relevant stories, learn more about themselves, create lasting friendships, and have fun.
At Play on Stage, we let our teen participants be at the centre of their own learning. We platform their voices to ensure our term-based programs speak to what they care about, the issues affecting their lives, and what they find interesting about the world around them.
Our teens are given the space and support to grow as performers and people—learning how to build self-esteem and confidence, collaboration skills, body awareness, vocal clarity, playwrighting, directing, and so much more!
Are you a Teen in Grades 10-12 who loves drama?
Then let us know! We’d love to offer a class for actors in senior high school looking to challenge themselves creatively and join a welcoming community of like-minded young adults.
