Class Act Drama Centre offers the opportunity to learn drama techniques with professional actors and directors. Classes are open to complete beginners as well as experienced thesps, and even better, tuition fees start from a piddling £2.50 per half hour, which sounds like a bargain to me. Here’s what they have to say about themselves:

With our realistic approach to drama and our range of classes we believe that we offer something for everyone from beginners to advanced performers. Class Act’s tutors offer the very best in part time theatrical training and opportunities. We aim to make drama accessible to people of all ages and capabilities at a practical cost.

They hold classes in Digbeth, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and Yardley, as well as other areas of the East and West Midlands. For more information about classes and venues, or to arrange a trial session, please visit the Class Act website or contact Marian by email or on 0121-244-321.
