About the English Theatre Club

Theatre lessons
The English Theatre Club came to be in 1990 as a theatrical workshop for teaching English through Drama and has since performed very many plays in theatres, parks and schools.
The children/teenagers that take part in these performances, thoroughly enjoy themselves whilst learning to speak a foreign language with gusto and having fun.
Teachers have noted how important this theatrical experience is for their educational work, while parents and children have been happily surprised to see that they can have fun watching an English speaking play and have been enthused by all our performances.
