Dubai Holding’s Operations Team recently hosted

Dubai Holding’s Operations Team recently hosted their mid-year offsite event at our theatre—an afternoon of company updates, team games, and plenty of laughter.

With 75 team members, custom game shows, and a packed agenda, the event was a perfect mix of business and fun.

The Courtyard Playhouse was proud to host them—and we’re the ideal venue for companies looking for something a little more creative than a conference room.

If you’re planning an offsite, team day, or company event—we’d love to welcome you. Get in touch to know more!

When Mostafa first joined us in 2019, he was shy, quiet, unsure of himself. Six years later, he’s not only performing on stage — he’s more confident, more open, and more willing to take risks (And it paid off!)

That first class can feel like a big leap. But what comes after can change everything. If you’re wondering whether this is the right space for your child — let this be your sign.

🎭 Term 1 enrolments are open now. Let’s help them grow — one brave step at a time.

Theatre is all about the magic on stage — but no

Theatre is all about the magic on stage — but none of it would happen without the stage itself.
This past week, we’ve been giving it some well-deserved love and care.

Koyes, our incredible technician (and the person who literally built this stage from the ground up), spent the week adding the finishing touches. Sanding, staining, varnishing — all the little things that most people won’t even notice. But we do it because we care. Because the details matter.

We want our stage to be solid, safe, and ready — for every kid taking their first brave step, for every performer telling their story, and for all the moments yet to come.

We’re closed just for the day — but only so we can come back stronger. 💛

If you need us, we’re still here — working from home and happy to help with any enquiries.

Tag yourself. Which improv type are you?

The Overcommitter, the one who’s just vibing, or the Scene Stealer who hijacks every moment with alien ninja plot twists?
In our improv classes, there’s room for every kind of performer—the bold, the hesitant, the chaotic, and everything in between.

Backstage with the Playhouse | Ep. 5

In this episode, Shawn Kinley shares how Keith Johnstone’s ideas reshaped the way he thinks about storytelling—on stage and beyond. From status to spontaneity, it’s a look at how the smallest choices can shift a scene, a character, or even a whole story.

New episodes every week.
Full Podcast coming soon.
