What Our Clients Say

“Just wanted to say my girls thoroughly enjoyed yesterday at your Theatre School. They were still buzzing this morning!”

Ah Tina, thank you so much!  Jasmine ADORED last night.  I can’t believe she came without knowing anyone else there.  We have only moved to Upminster in the last year and Jasmine is still at her old primary school so this is her first interaction with the local community.  Thank you so much for making it such a great experience for her.

“Emma absolutely LOVED it and that’s an understatement! She couldn’t sleep she was buzzing from the class so much! She says she wishes it could be every day!”
