 Calling all young agents! The world of spies, secret missions, and undercover operations awaits in this thrilling five-week youth program. Drama Club: 007 will challenge participants with exciting tasks, building their skills in communication, teamwork, and quick thinking.

Through team-building exercises, agents will learn who to trust (or not), tackle impossible missions, and don some secret disguises to take on undercover roles. It's not just about playing a part—it's about outsmarting the bad guys, working together under pressure, and flexing your acting chops to save the day.
