What our students say about
Darlo Drama acting classes

"Darlo is definitely the place to be if you have been thinking about trying acting, or seeking a community of thespians or just want to have a bit more confidence about getting on stage/public speaking. Started here 3 years ago with their Level 1 course, and since then have returned to try all their courses, with screen acting as the latest. It's now like family!"

If you are a beginner, you’ll find our approach dynamic, supportive and confidence building within safe and exciting learning environment. If you have previous acting experience you’ll be welcomed to develop and refine your skills through in-depth training and the opportunity to apply your technique on our theatre stage.
