Welcome to The Stage

More Than a Drama Class. A Place Where Kids Grow Brave.

Many parents tell us school drama lessons are too short to make a real difference. The Stage gives your child 8 full weeks of drama, speech and public speaking in a warm, playful space, so confidence has time to grow and stick.

Our Mission

Help every child speak up with confidence, on stage and in everyday life.

Small & Personal

Questions Parents Ask

Good to Know Before You Book

Can't find your answer? WhatsApp us. We're happy to help.

My child is shy. Is The Stage right for them?

Absolutely, shy kids are often the ones who grow the most. With a maximum of 8 children per class and lots of playful games, nobody is pushed into the spotlight before they're ready. Confidence builds step by step.

What happens during the trial class?

Your child joins a real The Stage session with their age group. Afterwards, we'll share how they got on and you can decide whether to continue with the full 8-week program. No pressure, no commitment.

Which age group will my child join?

There are two groups: 5–8 years (play-based drama, story and voice games) and 9–12 years (scripts, speeches and real presentations). We'll place your child based on the age you share in the form.

How much does it cost?

The trial class is RM55. The full program is RM420 for 8 weeks. We'll confirm slot and payment details with you on WhatsApp.

We live in Singapore. Can we join?

Yes, families from Singapore are very welcome at The Family Village in Johor Bahru. Choose “Singapore” in the form and tell us your preferred days, and we'll suggest the best available slot.
