SATURDAY CLUB

Every Saturday during school term

11am-12.30pm for 5-11 year olds

 50LE per workshop

Are you living with a drama queen?  Does your child have a flair for theatrics?  Then bring them along to our drama workshops and join the Sitara Saturday Club.

We understand parents and children have busy schedules so drama workshops are devised as part of a series but also work individually.

Please ring in advance to check the club is running and a place is available – 010 783 2207 

Workshops will be led by Emma Davies and/or Sophie Mohsen (see biographies below)
