Children acting at Rondo Drama Club

Rondo Drama Club and Summer School

Truly Creative Theatre For Young People

Our Drama Club and Summer School are two truly unique experiences, where your children are encouraged to share their creative ideas and work together to devise a totally original play. They then get the chance to perform it on the famous Rondo stage!

At the Rondo, we are committed to raising your child’s self-esteem and confidence in an environment that is fun, friendly and nurturing. We let the children come up with the ideas, so that they go away with a sense of truly having created something of their own.

Both the Drama Club and Summer School sessions are run by Paulo Baigent, an experienced director, theatre educator and workshop leader. For more information, contact Paulo directly at speaktomegabriel@gmail.com

Rondo Drama Club

We are delighted to announce that there are now two groups for young people. One will take place on Thursdays at Newbridge Primary School and the other on Tuesdays at The United Reformed Church in Larkhall.

Rondo Drama Club is a unique experience where your children are encouraged to share their creative ideas and work together to use the best of them to devise a totally original play. They then get the chance to improvise, rehearse and, finally, perform it under the lights on the famous Rondo Stage.

The sessions are run by Paulo Baigent, an experienced theatre director, educator and drama workshop leader, with an end of term performance at the Rondo Theatre itself. At Rondo Drama Club we are committed to raising confidence and self-esteem in a fun and nurturing environment.

So, if your children are into drama, love to have fun, are full of ideas and eager to share them, then book them in for our next term at The Rondo Drama Club.
