Academy

The Drama MOB

The Off Script Project

For performers 16+

Our 16+ Academy launched in September 2021 so we could provide a high quality acting class for our 16+ learners. We have some special talent here at The Drama MOB and we wanted to extend our offer of high quality drama classes to those 16+ young performers who want to make their way into the performance industry.

The classes have helped to launch the careers of Luca Toolan, (Mason Radcliffe, Coronation Street) and Ryan Mulvey (JJ Osbrone, Hollyoaks) both of whom appeared in our very first showcase!

In 2024 these classes rebranded to THE OFF SCRIPT PROJECT and they continue to run from strength to strength.

What you will Learn

16 - 25 years

The course is designed for students with a passion for acting who wish to work within the industry. We will study the detailed preparation an actor must undertake in order to succeed, exploring and performing different styles of script and performance. We will practice different acting tips/techniques, helping you find your emotional truth as an actor. We will look at the differences in skill between TV and Theatre Acting and look at becoming an all round confident, truthful actor. 

The lessons will be fun and supportive but focussed and your dedication and passion is imperative.
