About
Players of Ethos
Our mission
Acting Journey
At Players of Ethos, we believe that theatre should be for everyone. That’s why we provide affordable, high-quality classes in the heart of London, ensuring that no one is excluded from the arts because of their financial circumstances.
Our mission is simple:
To strengthen confidence, presence, and self-expression
To encourage cultural exchange and diversity
To create a supportive community where voices of all backgrounds are heard
Each year, our students gain the chance to step onto the stage in a professional theatre space, celebrating their progress in an end-of-year performance.
At Players of Ethos, we see acting as a long-term journey. Our programme is shaped around a three-year path, offering continuous opportunities to develop skills, build confidence, and grow as a performer.
Each year brings new experiences and a final showcase, but the journey remains flexible, allowing students to progress at their own pace and explore what inspires them most.
And beyond those three years, the path continues. With workshops, theatre labs, and our Workshop & Production Groups, students can keep expanding their knowledge, performing, and being part of our creative community.
Performances
Performances are at the heart of our ethos. They are where learning, creativity, and community come together.
When Players of Ethos was a production company, we staged acclaimed works such as:
Pitsa, inspired by W. Mastrosimone’s Woolgatherer (White Bear Theatre, 2018 & 2021)
The Thorn of Acacia by F. Zarfeiadis (White Bear Theatre, 2019)
Who Discovered America? by Chrysa Spiliotis (Golden Goose Theatre, 2023, in collaboration with Culture in Action)
Now, as an acting school and theatre hub, we continue this tradition with original work. Our most recent project, Uprising of the Ashes, was created and performed by the Players of Ethos Workshop & Production Group and written by our Artistic Director in collaboration with one of our students.
What makes us unique
Greek or English Classes – We offer classes exclusively in either Greek or English, giving students the choice to train in the language they feel most comfortable with — or to challenge themselves by boosting their skills in a language they want to strengthen. Alongside acting, we provide speech and articulation coaching in both languages, making our training especially supportive for those with English as a second language.
✨ Multiculturalism on Stage – Because we celebrate multiculturalism, our end-of-year projects sometimes incorporate multiple languages spoken by our students. This gives everyone the chance to express themselves in their mother tongue, while honouring their cultural background and enriching our performances.
🎭 Cross-Coach Experience – During the year, students get the opportunity to work with different members of our coaching team, exploring varied approaches and styles that broaden their perspective.
🤝 Community Spirit – Beyond classes, we host social events that bring people together, creating bonds that extend well beyond the stage.
💡 Life Skills Through Theatre – Our training strengthens confidence, communication, and presentation skills — tools that are invaluable not only in acting but also in everyday life and the workplace.
💫 Double the Experience – We encourage students to join more than one group if they wish to explore different approaches, styles, and languages. With discounted prices for multiple classes, it’s an affordable way to expand your training and immerse yourself even deeper into the Players of Ethos community.
