After-School
Drama Workshops
Our weekly after-school drama workshops in Merewether and Lake Mac are designed for young people looking to share their ideas, connect with others, and engage in play. Every participant stands to grow in confidence and creativity while having fun and making new friends.
The program focuses on creativity, wellbeing and expression.
In Tantrum’s Drama Workshops, we don’t teach drama. We use drama.
