Great News For Cris !

Ex - Drama Studio student Cris Ortega has been accepted to do a BA Hons in Acting at The Royal Scottish Academy. Cris was a Drama Studio student for 10 years.

Connor Quinn at his team are to take part in this games show for CBBC to be filmed during July 2010. They had great fun at the auditions so the real thing should be a fantastic experience for the adults and children. We will post programme details when they come in!

News has just reached us that Connor Quinn and his Team have won the Copycats gameshow. His mum Janis  has kindly sent us a review of the experience.

"Connor has been attending The Drama Studio for over 5 years now and has been to
many auditions/castings and was lucky enough to be accepted along with myself, 2 other adults and 2 friends to take part in the 'Copycats' TV show. The experience was absolutely fantastic for all concerned.
Without The Drama Studios input throughout the years from all the Staff this would never have been achievable.
So many thanks to Julie and all at The Drama Studio for what has been a wonderful and memorable experience." (Janis McCusker)

Fringe Show Experience For Two Drama Studio Students

Sophie Williams and Emma Murray were recently selected to take part in Tempo Musical Productions The Rink which was part of the Edinburgh Fringe.

Both girls had a terrific time on stage and off stage and we thank the company for their kindness to them making the experience truly unforgettable.

""Emma and Sophie were a much admired and talented addition to the cast of The Rink.  From their auditions to their final performances, they showed a dedication towards the rehearsals that would have put many a professional actor to shame.  It was a privelege to work with them and watch them develop.  Their confidence, characterisation, charm and witty delivery stole the show on a nightly basis and I believe that much of this ability is thanks to their training and the support from staff at The Drama Studio." Susie Dumbreck, Director
