Theater in Reading

“Highly recommend! My daughter loves Stagecoach Reading Caversham , she has thrived with the excellent teaching and, she’s inspired by their talent and practical performing experience of the staff. In addition to the regular performances, she has also had multiple opportunities to perform in the west end for an evening and also obtaining qualifications (lamda). A wonderful environment!”

“We went to see A Christmas Carol and it was amazing. I've lived hear Reading gorgeous over 25 years and this is my first time visiting the Rep. It definitely will not be my past. Can't wait for future productions”

“Good cinema with reclining chairs. The price higher than the competitors but the seat comfort might satisfy you. They got cheaper tickets prices Monday. Also with some promotions like if you have "meerkat cinema 2 for 1". They got insider cinema card where you can by tickets with offer and got some money back in the wallet put towards a another tickets. Also if yoy got company perks available you can save on those ticket prices too. If you love to go cinema just try it. Locate your nearest one. Enjoy your big screen entertainment!”

“Fantastic and currently under-appreciated spot in the centre of Reading. Great for hanging out, grabbing a coffee or a snack, with films and games of you're so inclined. Often hosting events too, which are great for a sense of community and allow you to support local makers and businesses.”

“Great independent cinema run in a lecture theatre. You can often find films that wouldn’t have been shown at the Vue or Showcase. Decent price too. They don’t allow food or drink.”

“My first time of going to the cinema here in Reading and my overall experience was a good one and not that expensive for a ticket, but the prices for popcorn and drinks a bit pricey, but wouldn't stop me from returning.”

“So amazing everyone's is super nice and no one is judgy. Even in covid-19 times they're still fabulous”

“Did a great job with our 6 year old’s birthday silent disco. Great communication and very reliable. Highly recommended. Don’t bother looking elsewhere!”

“Our son is loving the afternoon group at Reading West - he's met such a lovely group of children of a range of ages. Older children who can inspire and motivate him, others of the same secondary school age who he can relate to and connect with and younger children who he likes to support. Each week he returns full of smiles and enthusiasm about the drama activities they have covered and he loves working towards a performance or showcase every term. Yasmin and her team make this fun, supportive and a brilliant opportunity for anyone interested in any aspect of drama to learn while having a great time.”

“Read college have given me the skills set to get into drama school. I have had the best year of learning new dance styles and gaining confidence with my singing.”

“I think that Perform is a positive group. The teachers are exceedingly encouraging about our dancing, singing and acting. This is why I chose this drama group over all the others. Personally, I would recommend this group to anyone who's interested. (Ruby 9)”

“Jamie always comes out smiling and tells us very loudly how much fun he's had. This is perfect for our son and Charlotte is not only really engaging for him for she's such a positive and dedicated teacher which I think reflects on the children.”

“I've been meaning to write a review for quite a while. My son is 4 years old and has been going to theatre train for about a year. We started going to help his confidence and he absolutely loves it. I cried when I saw him in his first show and loved hearing how proud he was of himself. He used to be very nervous going in by himself and now happily walks in. I catch him singing songs to himself in the car or in bed or sometimes he'll tell me a song he knows and we can sing it together. I can't sing their praises enough Tiffany, Michelle, Bella, everyone helps make him feel at ease and it feels like a family.”

“Wonderful performing arts classes. I highly recommend Stagecoach as it has boosted my children's confidence and social skills”

“Such a brilliant performing group, seeing my daughter go from shy, litttle confidence to a confident independent female. Brilliant opportunities for rising stars”

“This was a great event. It's really well organised and the equipment (soundbox and screen) works really well. It was easy to access and exit the site and the light tunnel was a lovely addition. The mobile food ordering is good but they did run out of most things so order early! We had gold circle tickets which I thought was worth the extra for the view and the entry/exit.”

“I owe my entire professional career to Miss Sarah. I came to her when I was 13, and I know that it was her passion, knowledge and exceptional teaching that won me scholarships to Dance & Musical Theatre colleges. Most dance schools have a separate teacher for each discipline (ballet, tap, jazz etc). Miss Sarah was my ballet teacher, my jazz teacher and my tap teacher, because she is at the top of her profession in every genre. The dedication, belief and energy she gives to every one of her pupils is unbelievable. She puts her heart and soul into her students and her classes. And you only have to look at The Lodge's exam results, and the success rate in getting her students in to full-tine professional colleges, to see the level of dancers that she produces. I am proud to have been trained by her, and am proud to put The Lodge School Of Theatre Dance in the programme of every West End show I have done. And more than the dancing, she taught me the discipline, respect and motivation that I carry with me to this day.”

“My kids love the classes every Saturday!”

“Steve, Jo and their team did an absolutely fantastic job helping with our daughter's birthday party in October. We couldn't accommodate everyone inside and were worried about the weather, so opted for one of their domes. It looked amazing and the kids adored it. The whole process from enquiry, to set up and then the take down was seamless and very professional. We were so impressed we've already booked them again for another party. We would have no hesitation in recommending them, brilliant local business.”

“I first met Josh around eight years ago when he had just begun his business, carrying out a simple TV wall-mounting job for me. Even then, his professionalism and attention to detail stood out. Fast forward to today, and his company, Home Cinema Interiors, has just completed a full media wall installation for our new home, including a fireplace, painting, and flooring. The transformation is remarkable. The vision I had has come together seamlessly, and the quality of craftsmanship throughout is evident. Josh and his team have combined technical expertise with a real eye for design, creating a space that is both functional and beautiful. I would not hesitate to recommend Home Cinema Interiors to anyone seeking outstanding results, and I will certainly be using their services again in the future. Many thanks to Josh and his team for delivering beyond expectations.”

“Hugo did a great job. Hybrid (live and remote) events are never easy. I was able to turn over responsibilities with my local client to him and it worked out perfectly. We look forward to doing more projects with Growl.”

“My daughter had such an amazing experience in her first Steppin Out big show, Steppin Into Oz!! She thoroughly enjoyed the process, and Steppin Out is her favourite part of the week. After coming out of her last show, she said she wanted to just keep doing the shows, so a very happy girl who loved it all. The staff have put in so much time and effort, the costumes were amazing and the children shone on stage, and made magic! The opening number was brilliant and the finale was a tear jerker. We can't wait for the next one!”

“We’ve just come back from another fabulous trip with Steppin out, this time performing in the iconic Blackpool Tower. The kids were amazing, and all their hard work really paid off. They shone like the stars that they are. If you’re looking for the best performing arts school then look no further, this is it. As a family we’ve made lifelong friends and our daughter loves every minute of it. I couldn’t recommend it more.”

“Razzamataz has been such an incredible opportunity for our children. We arrived in England a few years ago, and our Razz Trial was one of the first big events for my kids - all 3 of them felt accepted, loved, and encouraged from the moment they arrived! Their 2 years with Razz has truly helped to mold them into confident and kind humans. Debbi and her team have built a safe and positive environment for kids to express themselves and be celebrated for who they are.”

“My daughter started with BOS when she was 4 and has now completed one full year. She has absolutely loved the variety of things they get to do in class, and being involved in her first theatre production was incredible! Her confidence has grown so much, and she can’t wait for the next term to start!”

“What a blast! Dizzy Dean is a wonderful party entertainer. He had a room full of four-year-olds and adults alike belly laughing – no easy feat! Parents were raving about how much fun their kids had and, even better, how engaged the little ones were, giving the adults a much-needed break. The birthday girl hasn't stopped talking about the show since. If you're looking for an entertainer who can captivate everyone, Dizzy Dean is your guy!”

“Richard and his team were faultless. Incredible knowledge to get the very best picture and sound for your budget and above and beyond attitude to account management and installation. Cannot recommend them enough and so glad we appointed them to create our home cinema. Thanks again for all your help!”
