The ADK offers Fun drama classes with many, many benefits, such as confidence boost, enhanced creativity, improved memory, improved social skills, improved public speaking and communication, and many more.

The ADK was founded in 1939 by Anna Richter, and has had many successful years of teaching and introducing, actors, actresses, directors, writers, etc into the entertainment industry. We have had many local South African talent study through the ADK, and many of them are still active within the ADK. Amongst these are Henry Mylne, David rees, marius Weyers, to name but a few.

We teach drama classes in both English and Afrikaans, and have 12 Branches across South Africa. We have small classes so that your children get individual attention and instruction. This means that we can fine-tune their acting and speech skills, rather than just teaching general drama skills in a big group setting.
