Urban Young Actors is a leading drama school and talent agency for young people aged 9-21 in Leicester. We specialise in acting for theatre, TV and film, and run weekly workshops as well as larger projects. Our classes are run by leading industry experts and are great fun for anyone wanting to perform, develop their skills or build their confidence.
UYA is a family for everyone and we pride ourselves on creating opportunities that are accessible to all.

“It’s really interesting now, as a musician, how something like acting and drama skills can correlate with something like music. I am really grateful for my time at Urban”
“I gained so much confidence at Urban. It didn’t happen overnight but I gradually started to improve and enjoy myself by taking risks and acting silly. Having gained that confidence at UYA, I then succeeded in getting a place at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.”
“I came to Urban as a 13-year-old energetic and mischievous kid, not knowing anything about acting. Without Urban, there is no way I would’ve even been able to make a dent in the industry”
For our main project this year we were absolutely delighted to be joined by world-famous Mischief Theatre – the theatre company behind globally acclaimed productions including ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’, ‘Peter Pan Goes Wrong’, and ‘Magic Goes Wrong’ created with Penn and Teller.
If you’re looking for a drama group in Leicester where young people can have an extraordinary experience and make real progress, look no further. Our acting classes and regular projects are designed for young people who want to build real skills and unlock their potential.
