First Act was founded in Derbyshire by Debbie Fearn in 1996 and since then youngsters galore have learned to enjoy drama.Although older students have gone on to study drama in further education and even auditioned for the National Youth Theatre, First Act is NOT selective. We believe fervently that acting is fun and for everyone- and although we will always encourage excellence, just as important is CONFIDENCE.Thursday sessions have been well established at the Essential Energy Studios and have now moved to South Darley Village Hall and, down the years, in additon to these weekly workshops, students have performed in plays and musicals at Buxton Opera House, in Matlock, Pride Park Stadium and at Chesterfield's Pomegranate Theatre.FIRST ACT DRAMA: 01629 733862
