ACT 50+ Age Positive Acting Classes

The ACT 50+ Age Positive Acting Classes originated from the drama school ACT, based at the Lantern Theatre in Brighton.

The classes, which run on Wednesdays from 2pm to 3.30pm, are tutored by Daniel Finlay and cover a range of topics including improvisation, character creation, poetry, clowning, dialogue, text, and storytelling. The course is designed for people aged 50 and over, with no previous experience needed, and aims to boost confidence and memory while building connections over shared experiences.

The six-week course starts on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, at the Lantern Theatre in Brighton, and tickets are with the button beside the article. The first session is a free taster, but advance booking is required, and students can then continue for the remaining five weeks. The full course costs £81, or £13.50 per individual session.

ACT is a drama school that offers professional actor training, with a graduate employment rate of 65%, and its daytime classes have no upper age limit, making them accessible to mature learners. The Lantern Theatre, the home venue of ACT Brighton, provides a supportive environment for students to learn and grow.
