Boys can do Drama

So the holidays have ended and your son comes up to you and tells you they want to act. I have a giggle at the typical South African Dad and hear him saying under his breath "No child of mine will do drama, my boy will play rugby". Well Dad, have you ever thought that perhaps your son will be a Springbok Captain one day and need the confidence and social skills to Captain his team to Victory. Or perhaps he will be interviewed for Supersport and thus need to be able to construct sentences like a human being. Too many times we hear people singing David Beckhams praises, and then in short, write him off by saying "But have you heard him talk" - that right there Dads is proof that an entire SUCCESSFUL sporting career can be over-shadowed by poor speech habits. Look, you probably won't hear a woman or mother ever care for Beckham's career or his speech, as they'll be too busy looking at him...but that's besides the point.
So to you Dad's who decide that your child won't do drama as they needs sports - you also need a well-rounded child who can communicate confidently. I have a few teenage boys who are so overly-confident that they can laugh at themselves too; "what a teenaged boy that can laugh at himself?" I hear you ask. Yip, I have more than 1 in my Academy - BELIEVE IT!
In conclusion I would like to say - DRAMA CLASSES ARE FOR BOYS TOO :)

Pictured here is my Fourways Youth Students performing in the 2016 Production of Romeo and Juliet...some would say that a few of the BOYS in this play stole the show!

That's me and Dean, he's been with our Academy for almost 8 years and he won many a sporting award at his school for exceptional sporting talent. Proof that you can do Drama and Sports.
