A note from the founder
Hello, I’m Sara.
Actress, comedian, copywriter, drama tutor — and a lifelong believer in a little imagination.
As a child, I sometimes found it hard to keep up in the way school expected. Drama felt joyful and natural — a place where being a little wonderfully dramatic was welcome.
That’s the spirit I bring to each child’s session: warmth, imagination and room to be themselves.

A little creative time, made easy.
