About us

Talent Theatre is an individual division under Talent Educational Services Co. specialising in Drama and Performing Arts. Talent Educational Services Co. has built a firm reputation in many schools throughout Hong Kong and has expanded into what is now “Talent Theatre”, continuing on its success of school programming, and also adding other divisions including its own theatre troupe. As a professional drama company, we have our own rehearsal and production studio, directors and performers, video and stage crew, and production team. To further ensure our productions are of the highest standards, our theatrical props and costumes are prepared by the finest manufacturers.

An effective means of learning Using Performing Arts as a means of language learning is becoming increasingly popular in Hong Kong’s education system. Due to its importance, the New Senior Secondary (NSS) Curriculum is inclusive of this element which enhances students’ learning ability and stimulates their insight into other cultures. It also provides ample opportunities for students to be creative. Our Native English Drama teachers are experienced and well qualified. They use fun and motivational methods to explore the talents of your students:

• Exploring innate creativity • Creating open and free learning atmosphere • Building self-confidence • Learning by immersion, trial and fun • Overcoming the fear of speaking English • Improving communication skills • Enhancing all-rounded development
