Sunday 24th March 2024

Entre Act’ show!

Drama in French

OUR LAST NEWS!

We moved premises in February 2024! Still in the heart of London, but in bigger studios!

Here is the new address: ACT’IN THEATRE, studio 1, 82 Southwark Bridge, SE1 0AS London

Enrolment opening for the third term (from 15/04 to 28/06/2024 & a show on 22nd of June 2024).

Join us for workshops for adults, children, drama, improvisation or cinema, in French or English!

Come and meet the poor women!

On Sunday 24 March, Act’in Theatre and its troupe Les Gueules de Bois have put together a (very) special evening in a brand new format.

20 actors, 4 rooms, 6 short plays, for immersive theatre, performed in French (no English surtitles this time, sorry!), right in the heart of London!

The choice is yours, as you drift from one room to the next, following the performances of the actors and actresses.

A poor woman is a needy person or, pejoratively, a narrow-minded person… But in the end, what is a poor woman really? Will she be a sister, wife, mother, distraught lover, mayor, mayoral candidate, administrative assistant, councillor or social worker? Have your say and come and meet your version of your ‘poor women’.

Sincere, touching or downright irritating characters, in plays with original scripts written by Candice Desmet.

Just one date in March, without video recording, and in total immersion… As you will have realised, Act’in and Les Gueules de Bois are offering you more than just an evening of entertainment – they’re offering you an experience.

It’s an evening not to be missed!

(And you’ll even be able to enjoy drinks and snacks during the show!)

Enrolment for the 3rd term is now open, let’s go!

Would you like to discover a new activity?

Would you like 2 hours a week to take a breather and recharge your batteries?

Would you like to meet new people?

Would you like to take advantage of preferential rates for shows in London?

Would you like to take the plunge and dare to play?

Come and join the Act’in family!

We offer drama, improvisation and cinema classes for young and ‘not-so-young-anymore’.

Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced, with or without stage experience, everyone is welcome.

In the evening during the week or during the day at the weekend, workshops in French or English, there are 15 different workshops for you to choose from! And, of course, in small groups, in a friendly, non-judgmental atmosphere.

The adult workshops take place in our (brand new!) studios near London Bridge, while the children’s workshops take place in South Kensington and Kentish Town.

So don’t hesitate, join us for this new term (15 April to 28 June 2024).

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Applause Gin&Scenic
The Parentheticals

A mystical evening of enchantment and laughter for IN’TERVAL#4!

On Thursday 14 March, Act’in and its Gin&Scenic troupe took you to the heart of the Diland forest to discover Abigail and her assistant Margaret, as well as 2 of the 3 Fates, Lachésis and Atropos. A new legend is born, among all the threads of life, protected or cut according to each person’s destiny.

A big well done to the actors, Manuela, Céline, Léa and Alex, who, in their colourful costumes, shared their enjoyment of the stage with the audience. Jumping from mushrooms to champagne bottles, from butterflies to asthma sprays, they delighted us!

A big well done also to the 2 merry men Brendan and Guillaume from The Parentheticals who took us on a quest for fries, when Tom was granted a 4-hour leave from paradise to seek out one of the pleasures he has denied himself all his life: Belgian fries, triple cooked… and all after 6pm!

Thanks to the team at Toulouse Lautrec for their warm welcome and great French menu.

And, of course, to all our members of the public who gave us the pleasure of sharing this evening with us. Your presence, laughter and applause are one of the secrets of a successful evening’s entertainment! It’s also thanks to you that the Act’in family is growing.

See you on Sunday 24 March for a (very) special evening! It’s drama, it’s in French and … it’s immersive! Stay tuned for more details soon!

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! 🙂
