Although it is tucked in one of Newtownards' lesser travelled streets (North Street to be precise)…read moreyou cannot miss the Web Theatre due to its rather bright (and suitably dramatic) yellow front. The theatre is a hub of dramatic development for young people, with classes ranging for those aged 6 months to 16. As well as acting, classes also include ballet and musical theatre- there is even a talent agency which the young people can join. Whilst this may appear to be a typical theatre school (albeit a rather expensive one) at first glance, I was surprised to learn that it is also Northern Ireland's only privately owned theatre. With shows ranging from traditional music to plays by local amateur dramatic groups, the majority of the shows are produced and performed by local talent. In recent years there have also been a number of national touring productions that have visited the theatre. It is also the home of a local amateur dramatic group which performs a pantomime each year and is well supported. The 150-seat theatre may lack the grandeur of Belfast's opera house, but its intimate atmosphere gives it a certain quaint charm. There is also a lobby area within the theatre which serves as a bar during intervals (where various wines can be purchased) as well as a cafe downstairs. The theatre is almost reminiscent of a museum, with photographs of its conversion from a 18th century factory scattered throughout. As well as plays, the theatre's stage also plays host to childrens' birthday parties- as it offers a package where children can dress up in theatrical costumes and engage in a number of party games, complete with backgrounds, sound and a special effects system. The parties are also tailored to a number of themes such as pirates, princesses and even a space setting. Although the drama lessons may be a tad expensive (especially in the current economic climate) the Web Theatre is truly one of Ards' treasures.

The staff at this school are kind, friendly and courteous and have the children's best interests at heart. The fencing outside makes it resemble a prison but as my mum always says it is what is in the inside that counts. Ion a few occasions I have collected my niece from the school and on every occasion I have been greeted with a smile and a chat. The teachers at this school go by the ethos of getting to know the children's families which I think is just charming.
