O'Grady Drama Central Coast – supporting local talent for more than 27 years!
Got a child full of expression, energy and personality? O’Grady Drama’s after-school classes give kids a fun, welcoming place to channel all of that creativity while building confidence, communication skills and self-belief along the way. It’s playful, confidence-boosting fun that helps kids find their voice – on stage and off.
O’Grady Drama’s after-school classes help children develop essential life skills for school and beyond – all while having a lot of fun along the way. Classes are designed to nurture creativity, confidence and communication in a warm, encouraging environment where kids are free to express themselves.
Participation in drama is a wonderful outlet for children to grow and share their creative flair and energy. For some kids, it’s a chance to shine. For others, it’s a gentle, supportive space to build confidence at their own pace. Either way, the skills they gain go far beyond the stage.
Drama classes help children develop:
• Confidence and self-esteem
• Clear speech, voice projection and expression
• Social skills and teamwork
• Creativity, imagination and problem-solving
• Comfort speaking up at school (and later, in life)
And yes – they’re also heaps of fun.
O’Grady Drama has been supporting local talent for more than 27 years, and Central Coast's local principal Tim knows exactly how to bring out the best in each child, whether they’re naturally theatrical or quietly finding their feet.
Classes are run after school (and Saturday mornings) across five convenient Central Coast locations, making it easy to fit into busy family schedules:
• Terrigal
• Berkeley Vale
• Kanwal
• Umina
• Erina
There are also dedicated Youth Theatre classes for older students, complementing the high-school drama curriculum and helping teens build skills in characterisation, improvisation, script work and performance – while making new friends along the way.Scroll down to learn more about them.

"When I started at O’Grady Drama, I knew that I would love it. In drama, anything can happen. You could be opening a mystery box one week and traveling through space the next! I’ve made many life-long friends in drama and I intend to continue O’Grady drama lessons for a long time."
