Act One was created in September 2002, since that time, we have been providing successful drama workshops throughout the North West. Our success is due to our carefully crafted lesson plans, our thorough understanding of drama and most importantly our knowledge of children and their individual needs.

We run Act One classes in Saddleworth, Oldham & Hyde.
