WELCOME TO URBAN YOUNG ACTORS
Urban Young Actors is a drama school for young people aged 8-21 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.
Urban is a family for everyone and we pride ourselves on creating opportunities that are accessible to all.
No previous experience required!
“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”
We’re Hiring!
We’re looking for a passionate, Leicestershire-based acting practitioner to teach and inspire our 8-12 and 12-16 groups at our Barkby venue on Saturdays 10:00-14:00. Apply now!
“Drama builds self-confidence and self-esteem, improves social skills and fosters ‘whole-person’ growth.”
