Theater school in Watford

“My lovely daughter, Angela, has been with Jigsaw Arts Watford for 3 years now and on top of that attended 3 summer camps! She’s been there since she was 4yo. She looks forward to every Saturday to go to a place where in here words, “I belong there mama!” Her self-confidence and self-esteem is amazing! She loves singing, dancing and drama as a toddler, but Jigsaw brought it to another level! Her first teacher at Jigsaw, Kim, is now the manager. I would say she has transformed Jigsaw Watford to another greater level! Katie, Kim and the entire Jigsaw Watford team are making sure that more than anything the kids enjoy being themselves! Bex, the dance coach, is amaaaaazing!!! The kids love to move with her choreography in different genres and techniques. Bex inspired Angela to dance soooo much more! Monique, the voice coach, has a wonderfuuul vocals! She’s definitely helped Angela to make her voice be heard! Amy, the drama coach, is greeaaaaat! My daughter is a lot more dramatic now! But kidding aside, Angela’s a lot more confident to try different acting faces and expressions. At home, she showcases this more specially when she’s reading a book! Everybody in Jigsaw Watford are the best! Every presentation that I have seen my daughter and her class perform, is more amazing each time! As Angela said, she’ll be there until she’s 18! And I’m here for all of that! Thank you soooo much Jigsaw Watford!!! You definitely made Angela’s star shine brighter!!!”

“A lot of good talent being supported here.”

“Stagecoach Watford has been an excellent place for my girls to showcase their talent. My eldest has additional needs, but that didn't stop Emily and her crew from bringing out the best in her. She wasn't hidden or given unnecessary roles. The team has found a way to include her in a way that she shines the brightest!! I was so sceptical initially to enrol her, but after 2 years now, I wish I had done it sooner!! Stagecoach has helped my daughter communicate and interact better with her peers. Her confidence has improved so much. She loves singing, dancing and acting! There is never a performance that I am not in bits!! (tears of joy!). The mainstream children are so well-behaved and have come to accept my girl. It is so beautiful to see how they all encourage her and give her a gentle nudge to fall in line. I think seeing her perform with the crew at His Majesty's Theatre recently tops it all! She loves going to Stagecoach, and I can not stop thanking Emily, Andrea, and other members of the Stagecoach Watford crew for being so amazing, professional, inclusive, nurturing, and creative. Well done to all of you, and thank you for the excellent work you do with our kids!!!”

“Both my son and daughter attended PQA Watford and they absolutely loved their time there! The classes were fun, creative, and really helped them grow in confidence. The team are so supportive and welcoming, and it’s clear they genuinely care about the children. It’s been such a positive experience for us, and I’d highly recommend PQA Watford to any parent looking for a place where their child can flourish.”

“I cannot recommend Brilliant Theatre highly enough. My daughter is with the company for 18 months and has progressed so much in that time in terms of confidence and has developed a deep appreciation for musical theatre. David and the team, whilst uber professional, make participation so much fun for the kids. The team bring out the best in the kids and help them all shine. Until you’re part of Brilliant it’s hard to explain just how great it is. If you join up, you’ll get it!”

“In a town where culture, the arts and music has been allowed to dwindle for the best part of 15 years, the Pump House is an absolutely vital part of the local arts and music scene. It provides an essential space for music and theatre in a way no other venue now does in Watford. From amateur theatre and kids theatre groups, to live music of all sorts, Watford would be artistically poorer without the Pump House. It should be supported and protected at all costs.”

“My daughter attends The Dan Tien and thoroughly enjoys the chance to learn new skills, make friends and grow in confidence. In a world where there can be so much pressure on young people, it's great to be able to send her to such a warm and creative environment. Great for physical and emotional health. Teachers are awesome. High standard of performance all round”

“This is a really lovely small venue that regularly puts on amateur dramatic performances. The drinks are cheap and the staff are really friendly- a great way to spend f a night out!”

“I have twins with additional needs and they love going. Vinnie is amazing and very knowledgeable. He is also very patient and understanding.”

“Highly passionate, motivated, friendly fun-loving and enthusiastic teachers. We look forward to the classes every week.”
