Dear Sally,
I'd like to thank you for the amazing job you did with the kids. You surely love them so much, and they seemed so confident you and your staff have their backs covered, it made me feel so happy I almost cried.
The show was amazing, funny and emotional, the children were so expressive some times I had to remind myself they aren't pros. Be proud of your self, Sofia really enjoys spending time with you. Thank you again to you and your staff"

"Highly recommend Theatricool! My son had a fabulous time at Summer School. Lovely, friendly staff who made him feel so welcome and encouraged his creativity! He's made some great new friends and the final-day performance was brilliant! Great building experience! Thank you, Sally and team!"

"Theatricool has been a part of our lives for 6 years and for quite a few very good reasons. The coaching each child receives in dancing, singing and acting is fantastic, leaving each child feeling like they have the confidence to be centre stage and part of a big happy family....
The shows that the school perform are extremely professional, giving the children a chance to perform on a stage in front of a large audience. I have two daughters age 7 and 11 and they look forward to and love every minute they are at their Theatricool classes. "

Hi Sally & All Teachers.
I just wanted to say, we thoroughly enjoyed Alice on Saturday.
*** friend from school & mum came to the afternoon performance, I got a lovely text to say that the production was great & so was ***, I should be very proud.
I am really am guys. My daughter has been through an awful lot in her 11 years & therefore kindness means so much to us. When looking through the programme she pointed to everyone & stated how lovely staff & students are to her. This will be why Saturday have become her most favorite day of the week.
The confidence she showed on Saturday was beyond what I was expecting.
You have some real characters at Theatricool. It was an absolute treat & very funny.
Thank you again for allowing my child to feel safe, comfortable & wanted. This means everything to us as a family.
We cant wait for the next show.
