What a Conundrum

New Zealand-Australian theatre director and actor Claire Glenn founded What a Conundrum in 2020, where she aims to cultivate the holistic development of children and young people through her personal passion of drama.

Claire says that Conundrum embraces the uniqueness and diversity of young performers through inclusive drama classes for children and middle schoolers, and large-scale theatre productions for young people and emerging artists.

Participants will develop performance and theatremaking skills while having the freedom to be creative, express their views, learn about the world and themselves, forge lasting friendships. They’ll also cultivate a sense of belonging and boost self-confidence within a supportive and rigorous youth drama framework that includes both local and international professional theatre practices and artists.

Many Conundrum alumni have gone on to work as professional actors in film and television, attend drama schools, create their own shows or become drama teachers.

The theatre purposely keeps its community small to ensure that every artist knows every family and every student receives the most focused attention in a safe and supportive environment.
