The Playing Space, known previously as Greenacre Drama Classes has evolved several times since they originally opened in 2002. They pride themselves on teaching a variety of disciplines of speech and drama to children in North London. As well as running occasional courses for budding adult actors.
Their aim is to help give students the confidence and skills to express themselves and create a fun and safe environment for them to practise in.
We spoke to the founder of The Playing Space, Gabrielle Maddocks to discover what admin issues were frustrating her before she made the switch to LoveAdmin and what’s possible after 2 years of working with us.
Between 2002 and 2019, The Playing Space had gone through lots of changes due to some exciting growth. Including expanding into birthdays parties and school drama clubs, taking on 6 new teachers, and starting to publish teacher resource books. Most frustratingly for Gabrielle, with growth comes increased admin and without a way to organise payments, things can get very messy.
This is why Gabrielle decided that The Playing Space needed a solution to solve their admin headaches and soon discovered LoveAdmin. Our drama school software allows you to manage class bookings, attendance registers, and payments with ease. We help you simplify your processes, so that you can collect more money, reduce your admin costs, and create a better experience of members.
The Playing Space took advantage one of LoveAdmin’s added benefits, bespoke strategic support, with these insights, they were able to improve their overall processes.
The Playing Space optimised their admin by streamlining their payment and training processes. After this, they were able to focus on creative projects within the business.
Using LoveAdmin, The Playing Space can now keep track of their payments and invoices. They now have a better understanding of what their schedule looked like on a weekly and monthly basis.
With a combination of support from our Strategic Business Manager and the LoveAdmin system as whole, The Playing Space have been able to increase their revenue by 39%.
Using LoveAdmin’s unique blend of advanced software and personalised 1-1 strategic service, has helped The Playing Space set their sights on achievable growth goals.
