Marrzipan Drama Workshop

The Marrzipan Drama Holiday Workshop is back by popular demand and is running from Monday 18 January 2021 to Friday 22 January 2021 at the Fendalton Community Centre.

Students will devise their own play from scratch, create characters, direct each other, design the set, bring in costumes and get to perform to family and friends at the end of the final day!

As well as having fun, the children develop confidence and public speaking ability, in a fun, relaxed environment. Past workshops have been a great hit, see last year’s video for yourself:
