Welcome to Urban Young Actors URBAN YOUNG ACTORS was set up because there is such a hunger for a drama group in Leicester designed specifically for 'Real kids with natural ability'. URBAN is a drama workshop for children between the ages of 8 and 16. Our session plans change weekly and consist of improvisation, script work, drama games, play writing, showcasing, confidence building but most importantly FUN!
