Testimonials

My daughter had such an amazing time at the holiday programme. Just seeing the excitement each day when she came home and her enthusiasm to get there each morning has been magical. Thank you for putting on such a great holiday programme that all the kids love, and where they learn so much, and get to showcase everything they have achieved in a performance at the end. I wish I had had something like that when I had been young!

Alice

A massive thank you for the amazing experience you and your team provided for both of our sons at Take a Bow. I have never seen them so enthusiastic about a holiday programme before. They loved every second and fully immersed themselves in the experience. It was so much more than just a drama class: it gave them the opportunity to be fully involved in a production from start to finish.

My parents came to the show too and we all felt our daughter gained a lot during the holiday programme, particularly around creativity and confidence. She’s naturally very shy and quietly spoken on stage so we really appreciate your support of her.

“Rachel has been tutoring drama with us for 10 years and is truly beloved by all the students she has taught. Her classes and holiday programmes are always creative and fun, and her students always grow in confidence under her care. We can highly recommend Kea Performing Arts to any students from ages 5-16yrs with a love of storytelling, performing and creativity.”
