Who we are
About Drama Geeks
A community built on creativity, confidence, and a genuine love of the performing arts - since 2017.
Built from passion
Drama Geeks started in 2017 when Charlotte, a passionate theatre-maker and educator, set out to create something different for young performers in South Shields.
What began as a small group of enthusiastic children has grown into a thriving performing arts school, serving students across four age groups, three venues, and every term of the year. The ethos has never changed: every child deserves a place to shine.

Our ethos
-
Every child can shine
We don't believe in talent as a prerequisite. We believe in nurturing every child's potential - however quiet, shy, or energetic they walk in.
-
Safe and inclusive
Safeguarding is central to everything we do. All tutors are DBS-checked and trained in child protection. Every child's welfare comes first.
-
Real performance experience
We stage real productions at real venues - not just end-of-year showcases, but full productions on professional stages, every term.
-
A genuine community
Students and families become part of the Drama Geeks family. We've seen lifelong friendships - and careers - start here.
