Introducing a few of the members of our team ...
Kaye James – Director
Having trained and worked as an actress, I wanted to pass on the love of ‘playing’ to others – and Drama Workhouse was born 12 years ago. I love the fact that, through taking part in drama-based activities, peoples lives can literally change! And I don’t mean fame, fortune and celebrity – I mean reaching the otherwise excluded, building confidence, creating trust . . . . . and more. And the difference it makes to people is visible after a relatively short space of time. I couldn’t ask for a better job!
