The Jessica Jacobs School of Drama embraces all aspects of theatre and the development of drama skills in young people as well as adults with special needs.

All programs are developed by Joanna Jacobs – a qualified drama teacher and performing artist who has spent her life involved in music and drama.

Joanna has worked on numerous amateur and professional drama productions since falling in love with the theatre at an early age. Her involvement extends to production, direction, costume and prop design, stage management, sound and lighting.

Joanna’s team is committed to providing students with a positive introduction to drama as well as developing the talents of those who wish to pursue a more serious interest in theatre.

Our approach is simple – to have fun, improve drama skills and develop talent.

Just as important is our objective for students to learn about themselves by using the theatrical medium to be creative and communicate and engage with others.

The qualified, dedicated and caring team ensure that each student is comfortable and engaged. The Jessica Jacobs School of Drama curriculum covers a comprehensive range of drama-related topics in addition to acting and our flexible approach means classes are often tailored to suit the student group’s requests or areas of interest.
