Urban Stage was founded in 2003 by professional actors Simeon Truby and Helen Kay. We offer students the opportunity to learn new skills and gain confidence through the performing arts. At Urban Stage the emphasis is on performance, with all students having the opportunity to work with and learn from highly experienced and dedicated professional performers.
Our live theatre performances are not only entertaining for students and audiences, but are also an invaluable learning experience that helps greatly with confidence, creativity and team working skills. Classes are a mixture of acting, dancing, singing, improvisation and drama games.
