ABOUT US
Now embarking on its second year, Express Yourself Drama opened to help meet a huge demand in the Central area for quality drama classes as many youngsters were disappointed at not finding a place within existing facilities.
The Principal is Kevin John Mackay - perhaps better known in the area for his work with local radio station Central FM as 'Captain Kev' - this included stints on the Breakfast, Mid-Morning, Evening and Weekend shows. He has worked in radio as a Broadcaster and Commercial Producer on and off since 1981. Kevin met his wife Mairi McNeill over the airwaves: She was his travel broadcaster who went on to read the news at Central FM and became half of the Breakfast Show herself! She recently returned to Central FM. They have two children aged 10 and 9.
Kevin spent three years training as an actor in London at ALRA - The Academy of Live & Recorded Arts.
Although much of his career has been radio based with additional appearances on NorthSound, Radio Forth and Radio Borders, he has appeared in many stage shows both touring and at prestigious theatres including the world renowned King's Head Theatre in London. He ran an independent theatre company based in Glasgow with plays staged at Mayfest and other festivals - JigJag productions included Glasgow Girls, Madame T and Up from Sauchiehall Street. He was also a Director of the Rideout Theatre Company in the Scottish Borders for several years and appeared in their touring pantomimes.
TV work includes: Taggart, Take the High Road, London's Burning, The Mad Death, Mr Pulfrey of Westminster. Period drama's include King's Royal, Grey Granite and The Fourth Arm.
