Drama classes for all

Drama Kids Sussex + DK Youth Theatre, Sussex is much more than a drama school. We’re a friendly, diverse and inclusive family where every student is welcome and encouraged to make huge strides in self-confidence whilst working at their own pace. In our professionally run classes, children of all ages learn how to act, interact and – most importantly – feel good about being themselves, supported by an internationally recognised curriculum. We also run adult groups and corporate communication and voice training and CPD on request... well, why should anyone miss out on all the fun? You’ll find us in schools and arts venues across East and West Sussex.

What people say about DRAMA KIDS, SUSSEX

“Hi Gareth just wanted to say I was so impressed with Drama kids yesterday. From Mel meeting us at the door with a huge welcoming smile and ‘hi 5’, to seeing them upstairs running a round laughing during the class it was such a fantastic experience. Our daughter had a brilliant time and is already counting the days until next class.
Many thanks”

Shoreham Parent, September 2024

“Hi Gareth, I just wanted to say what a massive change we are seeing in our son. He has become very theatrical, playing vr games with children, making little plays, and directing people on what to do! His confidence has come on massively. He’s also been reading his first script book which has really enjoyed. It’s quite amazing to see, and that can only come from drama.”

Worthing Parent, August 2024

“Thanks Gareth you are all amazing at what you do. It gives everyone confidence and allows them to just be themselves which is something we always encourage! ❤️”

Summer School Parent, August 2024

“We wanted to say a massive thank you for a great show and all your hard work ! Both enjoyed Drama club and we can see how confident they have become since the beginning of the year. They look forward to September. Have a great summer ! “

Ditchling Parent, August 2024

“My two 10-year-olds have been coming to drama since before they started school. They both love it! Their confidence in speaking and performing has grown immeasurably and it’s a club they have no intention of stopping out of the many they have attended. They have made wonderful friendships and their teacher brings such positivity and fun to the children. The summer show is wonderful to watch!”

Rachel, Drama Kids Sussex parent – Worthing

Throughout the 6 years of attending Drama Kids Sussex Academy, I have loved every second of it- from joining when I was 10 years old to leaving at 16. I used to be a very diffident, quiet person before joining, and now I’ve found myself to be quite the opposite. I think this is to a large extent thanks to my experience at Drama Kids Sussex. Through Drama Kids Sussex, not only have I gained confidence that will stick with me for life, but I have also made some amazing friends along the way. I used to never think I’d have the guts to perform on stage Infront of lots of people, but the atmosphere provided by the Drama Kids Sussex team and being able to perform with people I got on with really well really made those performances turn into happy memories that I’ll cherish forever. The teachers made every class very enjoyable and inclusive. 

I have done a fair few Drama Kids Sussex summer schools during my time and that’s been a memorable experience, getting to know other people from different groups that share the same passion as you. This academy allows us as students to be creative and gain confidence.

From Anna aged 16

My son’s drama teacher at Drama Kids Sussex has been a huge inspiration to him. The lesson has benefited him in countless ways and he enjoys and looks forward to every lesson. He would go every day if he could!

Natasha, George’s mum

I would highly recommend both the Drama Kids Sussex drama classes and the Drama Kids Sussex summer school. The teacher is great with the kids – they love her – and she works hard with them to put on shows they are proud to be part of.

Julie-Anne, Noah’s mum

Eva has loved coming to Drama Kids Sussex drama classes. She is always keen and reports that she has had fun. The teachers are really warm and friendly and they have a great rapport with both the children and the parents.
