Urban Young Actors: Acting Classes in Leicester

A drama school for young people aged 8-21

Urban Young Actors is a leading specialist drama school in Leicester which I became the owner and artistic director of in 2021 (more info here). We have been running workshops for over 13 years, catering for young actors aged 8-21. 

Head over to urbanyoungactors.com to find out more!

We pride ourselves on delivering workshops of the highest standard that are accessible to young people of all levels of experience and ability. Our alumni include Mahalia (Brit & Grammy Award-Nominated Artist), Jurell Carter (Emmerdale, ITV), Owen Warner (Hollyoaks, Channel 4), Dilan Raithapha (West End playwright) and Devesh Sohda (award-winning composer).

All Urban members become part of our UYA Agency and we actively put them up for professional castings and auditions. We have a large network of connections that we regularly work within the East Midlands and beyond.

We believe that the arts should be accessible to all and not only to those who can afford it. We are proud to offer a number of scholarships, paying up to 100% of membership fees on behalf of our members.
