Theatre Stage Background

Happy students, happy parents!

So fantastic! My son’s confidence has soared through the roof. He is able to learn poems for his LAMDA exams that I would definitely struggle to remember. Their plays are so enjoyable. Fabulous and caring staff. Thumbs up all round!

Joining Let’s Act was the best thing we as a family could have ever done. Lani is now at drama school in London. Katy loves her Tuesday and Friday class. I have made fantastic lifelong friends and have been known to take the stage myself with the adult rock choir.

My two daughters attend Let’s Act and learn how to dance sing and act. They have made some great friends and really have developed their confidence. The teachers are caring and supportive. It is a friendly school where children and young people can be themselves.
