Jessica Jacobs School of Drama

About

Our Melbourne-based drama programs are developed and conducted by Joanna Jacobs � a fully qualified secondary school drama teacher who has spent more than 25 years involved with the arts.

Joanna and her team believe drama is about fun and learning valuable life skills just as much as it is about developing talent and a love of theatre.

Our drama school is named after Jessica Jacobs � a young Melbourne actress who performed in both theatrical and TV productions including the top Australian children�s drama Saddle Club.

Her attitude and legacy provide the inspiration for our programs which focus on developing confidence and self-esteem as well as dramatic talent in young people through a number of drama programs.

Term-long classes are divided into junior and senior age groups for school age students up to the age of 16 and are held at the Elwood College in Glenhuntly Road, Elwood. There are two weekly sessions � including Saturday mornings � to choose from.

We also offer a drama program for special needs clients � youth and adult � at Marriot Support Services in McKinnon or at a requested location.
