MEDWAY DRAMA

Classes are held on Sundays from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM in Rochester, ME1 

​​​​​​​

Medway Drama is professional drama classes that train and mentor actors who desire to build a career in the arts. Having started in January 2025, we have successfully assisted actors in reaching the next step in their careers, with participants accepted onto spotlight (main acting job directory), booking their first theatre job, leading short films, adverts, TV pilots and above all, becoming more robust, grounded and connected in their acting. We have also had Casting directors, award winning actors, writers and directors give industry talks all at our doorstep in Medway. And that is just in a year.

​

​How we work:

• We audition every student that applies with a short zoom meet. This is a marker of how much we aim to commit to the actors in the class

• We train on a weekly basis, Sundays 2:30pm - 5:30pm

• Every term is a total of 12 sessions, with a 1 week break every 6 weeks.

• We do 1 on 1 zoom sessions with an industry mentor, that advises on career development

• We watch London based theatre shows as industry research and building a community outside the class.

• We invite industry professionals to the local area to do talks with class members.

​

Actors in our Class are expected to be

COMMITTED, PASSIONATE and above all COURAGEOUS.
