Speech & Drama Section
The Speech & Drama day competitions are designed to share and celebrate budding poets, verse speakers, musical theatre performers, actors, prose readers and public speakers. There are classes for different age groups and set works to read. Other classes are for “own choice” of text to read or act out. A professional will adjudicate and give out certificates for winners, but all who take part can be proud of performing to an audience!
Our next Speech & Drama day will take place in the autumn of 2026. More details to be announced over the summer.

Dan Collins
Up until 2024 Dan was the Administrator of the Speech & Drama section of the North London Festival of Music, Speech & Drama. Sadly he passed away in April 2024. He put so much energy, time, enthusiasm, skill, joy and care into his organising the Speech & Drama classes over recent years. He will be greatly missed and the NLF Festival organisers are very grateful for all he has done for young people in giving them the opportunities to develop their talents.
