A Magical End-of-Year Performance: Bravo to the Young Artists of Les P’tits Act’!

On Sunday 29 June 2025, the audience had the pleasure of attending a wonderfully creative and emotion-filled afternoon at the Institut Français du Royaume-Uni.

 

First and foremost, a huge well done to all the children who gave outstanding performances in the play Le Sortilège, fearlessly took part in the improv match with the Éclairs de génie, and proudly presented their short film La Précieuse Liberté.
Despite the heat, they demonstrated remarkable commitment, boundless energy, and sparkling creativity. Whether on stage or on screen, they truly impressed us. These projects reflect all their hard work throughout the year, and they can be incredibly proud of their journey.

A heartfelt thank you as well to all the families who came in great numbers to cheer on and applaud their young artists. Your support, your faithful presence, and your trust mean the world to us. You are their first audience and their biggest fans — and none of this would be possible without you.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the Institut Français du Royaume-Uni for their exceptional hospitality and ongoing support, as well as to all their teams, who contributed to the success of the event with such kindness, dedication, and professionalism.

A special thank you as well to La Gazette for their valuable support and for the delicious buffet.

Wishing you all a wonderful summer!
Rest, have fun, dream big… and we look forward to seeing you in September for another year full of creativity, play, and a touch of artistic magic with Act’In!

All pictures and video from the show will be available soon!

Thank You for a Magical Evening – Un jour à Paris!

On 21st June, many of you joined us for a truly unique evening at the Peckham Theatre. With poetic theatre, live songs, and an unforgettable improv match, we were absolutely delighted!

A heartfelt thank you and huge congratulations to all the actors for their dedication, precision, and generosity on stage. They transported us to a Parisian square full of life, mystery, and music. The challenge was great: acting, singing, dancing… all live! And they rose to it brilliantly and with real emotion.

Thank you to the Improzac troupe for a wildly energetic second half! The kind of improv match we love: hilarious, off-the-wall, full of surprises and bursting with energy. Thanks as well to our Masters of Ceremony and our (merciless… yet fair!) referee for orchestrating the joyous chaos with flair. Special mention to the Parisian pigeons, who were, quite clearly, an endless source of inspiration!

A big thank you to the Peckham Theatre for their warm welcome and support throughout the event. A high-quality venue with a team that is both discreet and efficient, always ensuring everything runs smoothly. A special shout-out to Freddy on tech, the true conductor behind the scenes!

And last but not least, thank you to you, our loyal and enthusiastic audience, for showing up in large numbers despite the sweltering heat of this first summer evening. You were there: attentive, smiling, vibrant, and your applause was the greatest gift to our performers. Without you, none of this would have been the same.

Our next (fully booked!) children’s end-of-year show takes place on Sunday 29th June at the Institut français, a magical moment in store for young and old alike!

And most importantly, we’ll see you from September for a brand-new season filled with surprises, emotion and laughter. Whether you’re a fan of theatre, improv or captivating stories, Act’In has some unforgettable new adventures waiting for you.

All pictures and video from the show are available here!

Save Waterloo Paradise

Old Paradise Yard and the adjacent park need your help!

Act’in Theatre was born in Old Paradise Yard nearly 9 years ago. Since the end of January 2024, Act’in has been ‘invited’ to leave, our company and around thirty others because we have created Save Waterloo Paradise, a campaign that defends the right to protect this creative and natural place.

Even if we’re no longer based in this little oasis, an incredible place of creation and natural habitat for many species… we must protect it for our future generations.

Help us save Waterloo Paradise by signing the petition and sharing it with others! Together, we can make a difference!

Act'in workshops:

Act’in Theatre has been offering workshops for all levels since 2015!

So there’s no excuse not to “DARE” a new discipline! Small groups in a warm and relaxed environment: we play, we learn and, above all, we develop at our own pace in a friendly atmosphere!

So … GO! 🙂
