First Act Farnham

First and Second Act are two popular local drama groups led by inspirational drama teacher, acting coach and director Ruth Ahmed. Well known and admired for her imaginative productions at a number of community theatres, Ruth has been growing the confidence and creativity of youngsters at her weekly sessions for the past 21 years.

First Act is for children from 8-10 years old (school year 3 to year 6) and Second Act for ages from 11-16 (school years 7-11). The sessions run in conjunction with school terms.

The emphasis in Ruth’s sessions is always on fun and creativity – the ideal environment for learning. Activities range from drama games and improvisations to creating characters and original devised scripts. Every year, at the end of the summer term the groups present a public performance for family and friends.

Ruth is always happy to welcome new members and introduce them to the magical world of the theatre.

First Act: Fridays 4 - 5.15pm Tilford Institute.

Second Act: Thursdays 7.15 - 8.30pm Marindin Hall (Frensham).
