The Drama Centre

Why we DON'T charge a franchise fee like most other performing arts school franchises...

Very excited to finally say that I am the new voice of Miss Rabbit in Peppa Pig Tales.

Which basically means I now spend parts of my working day pretending to be an exhausted rabbit with 47 jobs and a slight sense of urgency at all times… honestly not that different from running my businesses and being a Mum!

As someone who absolutely loves character voices, storytelling and performance, this has been SUCH a fun job to work on.

Hearing your own voice come out of a cartoon rabbit from one of the most well known kid's shows on the planet is very cool.

Very grateful, very excited and very proud.

One of the biggest decisions I’ve made with The Drama Centre franchise model…

I scrapped the upfront territory fee.

Because I kept thinking about the people I ACTUALLY want to work with.

Actors.
Creatives.
Teachers.
Parents.
People with passion, energy and heart.

Not necessarily people sitting on huge amounts of spare cash.

I know what it feels like to build something from the ground up. When I started The Drama Centre, I wasn’t handed opportunities — I created them. And I don’t want brilliant people locked out of business ownership because of one massive financial barrier at the start.

So instead of focusing on “buying a postcode”…

I focus on:
✨ Training
✨ Mentorship
✨ Ongoing support
✨ Building a REAL business properly
✨ Helping franchisees get into schools and grow sustainably

I want franchisees who care deeply about children’s confidence and communication. People who are willing to work hard and build something meaningful in their area.

I’d rather grow with the RIGHT people than make quick money from territory fees.

The Drama Centre changed my life.
Now I want to help other people build something that changes theirs too.

Had a chat with my newest franchisee tonight and mapped out our summer training together.

And it made me all nostalgic and reflective.

When I look back over the last 9 years building The Drama Centre, I feel really proud of what I’ve created. The classes, the students, the teachers, the franchise growth, the confidence we’ve helped build in so many children.

But I also remember doing so much of it alone.

Figuring things out as I went.
Second guessing decisions.
Trying things, failing, learning, growing.

There’s something amazing about building a business yourself but I do sometimes wish I’d had a mentor and support team around me in those early years. Someone to guide me, encourage me and help me avoid some of the overwhelm. That support didn't come until later- until I figured out what I needed.

That’s a huge part of why I’ve built this franchise the way I have.

I don’t want people to feel like they’re being handed a logo and left to work it out. I want them to know they can always ask for support.

I want creatives, actors, teachers and passionate people to feel genuinely supported while they build something incredible for themselves.

And seeing these new franchisees stepping into this journey is honestly so exciting.

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a voiceover actor?

As many of you may know, alongside running The Drama Centre, I also work professionally as a voiceover artist- and right now, I’m recording multiple characters for a global animated children’s series (which is VERY exciting!)

So many of my students have been asking what it’s really like… so I thought- why not show you?

I’m launching a hands-on Voiceover Workshop where students will:
Learn how voiceover acting actually works
Create their own character voices
Take real voice direction
Build confidence using just their voice

And the best part…

They’ll record their very own voiceover reel- which I’ll professionally edit and engineer for them to keep!

This isn’t just a workshop- it’s a real behind-the-scenes experience of the industry.

✨ Spaces will be limited to give everyone proper studio time.

I was having a conversation today and someone asked what franchise areas are still available for The Drama Centre?

Right now, these nearby areas are open (but moving quickly):

Southend – interest already building - already a class ready to take over
Colchester – enquiries came in just last week
Romford – someone seriously exploring this right now
Ilford – a key London area with huge demand
Stratford – massive opportunity with families and growth.

I’m looking for:
✨ Actors who want a more stable, fulfilling career
✨ Creatives who are passionate about working with children
✨ Teachers who are ready to step into something of their own
✨ Parents who want flexibility and purpose

This is about building something that genuinely changes children’s confidence, communication and lives while creating a business that works for YOU.

If you’ve ever thought, “Could I actually do something like this?”
This might be your moment.
