latest Events
We are hosting a series of digital events aimed at helping schools improve performance for drama teachers working in a socially distanced environment. Our Inspiration Bursts focus on enhancing creativity, spontaneity and wellbeing, and explores how to make the most of the current restrictions schools find themselves in. We will post more information on our next event soon.
What’s new?
We are delighted to announce that we have received Arts Council funding for a research project to support drama teachers and creative freelancers who work with young people to continue to deliver exciting work during this period.
We will be running a series of CPD webinars in the autumn term on Managing the Socially Distanced Classroom and blended learning ideas.
Our new production THE LIE is currently being rehearsed and a recording of a live performance will be ready for schools very soon.

Hear from some of
Our Audiences
Sharon and the wonderfully creative N-Act team explore some tough topics that empower children to help themselves stay mentally well and physically safe. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
An absolutely brilliant play which was so relevant. As I said to you, youngsters aren’t going to listen to teachers and politicians but they may listen to organisations such as yourselves.
