Heather Dunham
Owner/Director

I have been teaching for Drama Kids since April 2004. I have seen first hand through my students, myself and my own daughter the growth, confidence and self esteem that Drama Kids can bring. I am so lucky to continue working with my DK families and helping more children become confident.
