ABOUT CLASS ACT COMPANY & T.G.R

 

Class Act Company is a small independent, family-run performing arts company founded by professionally trained actor Sian Griffin.

 

Inspired by her daughter’s love for the arts, who is now 13 and is a trainee tutor within the company Sian created a welcoming space where children could grow in confidence through acting, singing, dance, and performance. What began as a small local class has organically grown over the last 7 years into a supportive creative community for young performers.

 

Our classes are drama school inspired Sian has a 2 year b’tech national diploma and a three year acting degree from London drama school A.L.R.A. We believe every child should feel encouraged, included, and supported whilst developing confidence and performance skills for both stage and screen.
