The Drama Collective Summer Triple Bill filled us with pride! Find out what we are performing in 2026 …
What a tremendous effort! Well done to everyone involved and thank you to our audience for giving our cast such a confidence boost!
It was great to see everyone up on their feet, supporting our youngest members in a rocking sing-a-long and an energising cardio workout.
Here’s just some of the feedback received from our theatre audience, parents and cast members:
“Thank you for believing in our children and making us feel so welcome, we loved every minute of it!”
“Absolutely brilliant performances, what a great bunch of talented kids!”
“You guys are amazing! Thanks to you all for being supportive on my first show.”
We all feel so proud of what we accomplished together – pulling off three individual shows in one afternoon. There was such amazing energy all round and we feel truly blessed to have such a fantastic bunch of individuals in our groups with wonderfully supportive families and friends.
On behalf of the entire cast and crew, we are sincerely grateful for the dedication of our members, as well as our lovely volunteer chaperones, back-stage crew, and the All Saints Centre team.
What’s coming up for Drama Collective in 2026?

In addition, Tim and the team will be planning ahead for our next major productions that will be performed in 2026 at the All Saints Centre and at King’s Church in Lewes. Furthermore, we are delighted to continue the animal inspired theme from our Aesop’s Fables into the New Year:
