Theatretrain Clacton is more than a drama club!

Theatretrain Clacton offers professional theatre training for 6-18 years old in a way that is both fun and effective. More than a drama club, a dance school or a singing group, our performing arts classes give children and young people a place to explore the world and create performances. This process gives them life skills that will help them whether they want a career in the performing arts or the confidence to thrive in the real world. All the world’s a stage after all!
