Class Act Theatre School teaches children and young people the performance skills involved in drama and theatre arts.
The CATS ethos is based on quality, fun, innovation, inclusiveness and strong ensemble performances.
Overseen by well respected founder and principal Jill Williams, it is one of the most highly regarded theatre schools in South Wales.
CATS performs regularly at theatres across Swansea and Neath Port Talbot. Students aged from seven to their early 20s take part in shows of a reputably high standard.
Great productions have included Les Miserables, Oliver!, High School Musical 2 and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The South Wales Evening Post said of one recent production: “The large cast’s joie de vivre reflected a powerful team ethic.”
CATS has powerful links with professional theatre companies, agencies and venues.
Come and try us… we think you’ll love it!
