Drama Kids offers a unique and fun-filled children’s drama program used across the USA and around the world to help children develop:

Confidence	Enthusiasm	Speech Skills

In 1985, Helen O' Grady, a popular TV actress in Australia, decided to create a completely new way to develop children and created a children’s drama program using various fun and fast paced drama activities to build children’s speaking, acting and social skills.  Parents saw the remarkable benefits of class participation and classes built quickly throughout Australia. In 1989, the program was launched into other countries as The Helen O’Grady Children’s Drama Academy.

Today her children's drama program has proved so successful that there are over 45,000 students currently attending classes in over 1,500 locations throughout the United States, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Drama Kids International, Inc. is both proud and excited to be the exclusive U.S. provider of the Helen O'Grady Children's Drama Program, the most popular after-school children’s drama program in the world offering acting classes for toddlers, acting classes for kids, and acting classes for teens.

Our unique kids’ acting program has been internationally recognized for its creative drama curriculum and teaching methods that are great fun and highly developmental for all children. Many students discover the joy of acting and decide to pursue further stage work; other students attend just because Drama Kids helps them build important skills that are used in whatever future endeavors they pursue.  Come see why at Drama Kids - “The Difference is Dramatic.”
