What is a Drama Kids Franchise?
Drama Kids is a home-based children’s enrichment franchise built around a proven developmental drama curriculum and a flexible, community-based delivery model. Franchise owners receive an exclusive territory, proprietary curriculum, comprehensive business and curriculum training, marketing resources, and ongoing support from an experienced National Office team.
Rather than operating from a traditional storefront, owners bring Drama Kids programs directly into schools, community centers, recreation facilities, churches, performing arts venues, and other community locations. This allows owners to establish multiple class locations throughout their territory and expand geographically as enrollment grows without the fixed overhead associated with a traditional theatre facility.
Owners can build multiple revenue streams through weekly developmental drama classes, school partnerships, Take 2 performance programs, camps, and other programming, while building an instructor team that allows the business to scale beyond the owner personally teaching every class
