Theater school in Reading

“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.”

“Excellent amateur theatre performing to high, professional standards.”

“Amey theatre is great for shows and putting on production's. It has full facilities, dressing rooms, technical sound and lights. The theatre has a nice feek as it's medium size for audience numbers.”

“Enjoyed the night out recently when went to see the production of The King Reggae - The Music featuring Bob Marley's iconic hits. Unlike older theatres, this theatre has no special attractive interior features to mention, however, its well laid out with spacious seats.”

“Fabulous little theatre group. Great at doing Terry Pratchett's plays. Players fabulously characterful, reflecting closely the characters in the books. Sets were very innovative! Loved them!”

“Lovely show. Watched Sister Act last night and Anything goes recently. Was thoroughly entertaining and great fun. Nice intimate venue with very well put together productions”

“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!”

“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!”

“Luke has been attending Stagecoach for 5 years now. He has recently gone up to the Furthers group as he is now 14 which he was a bit worried about. Saying that he still loves it as much if not more than he had. All the teachers are so friendly, kind & caring that he has always felt safe whilst doing something he loves. They clearly all enjoy what they do. They go out of their way to ensure that everyone is involved & enjoying their time each week. I just wish that Luke went into school each day as happy as he goes to Stagecoach each week. Thank you Stagecoach”

“My daughter has been attending HAYA in Camberley since April 2024 and absolutely loves it. She joined to meet other people of a similar age and to learn different learning techniques. She really enjoys improvisation and show casing what she has learned. I would highly recommend!”

“Theatretrain Basingstoke is a fantastic place for children to get training and experience in performing arts. The team is great and highly professional - giving children their best at all times! The principal of Theatretrain Basingstoke - Pip is such an amazing person with super worm, welcoming and positive personality. Always a pleasure to be around! If you want your children to get a great training in performing arts, have an amazing time and gain a lot of self confidence, Theatretrain is the place to be. ”

“Going to Stageability (Mad 4 Musicals, Mortimer) is genuinely the highlight of my daughter’s week. We started because we wanted to boost her self-esteem and channel her love of performing - and we are so glad we did! It has been so gratifying to watch her confidence grow. Having this safe space where she can be herself is incredibly valuable to us all. Kerry and Samantha are so supportive and nurturing, and really encourage the children to believe in themselves. These values have created a very positive environment which has benefitted my daughter so much. The shows are great too and it’s a real treat for our family to watch all the children shine at the end of each term! We highly recommend!”

“It’s not often that you can genuinely say that an experience was life changing. But The Actor Rebellion beginners courses , Actor Accelerator programme and master classes have done that in spades. Through beautifully crafted lessons and workshops taught by Luke Marquez, with industry insights from Hannah Marquez , I developed the skills and confidence to put myself out there. I took my first class in November 2023 and I am now an Equity member , have a Spotlight profile, an agent and a great amount of experience in TV and film. This is all down to The Actor Rebellion . They know when to support, when to take you out of your comfort zone and when to let you fly . If you have ever had even an inkling or wondered what it might be like to act- just do it. I promise you won’t regret it. I have met the most wonderful people, been supported in the wonderful safe space that Luke and Hannah have created , had great fun and fulfilled a dream . If I can do it at 60, then anyone can.”

“I saw "The Sound of Simon" - the Simon & Garfunkel tribute band on 16th June. A brilliant show made perfect by the venue - great theatre in a beautiful setting and free parking!”

“Absolutely amazing! My kids absolutely love it! Staff are all lovely and welcoming my kids are shy and don’t really like people (autistic and ADHD) and they have become completely different people since joining they have become so confident and absolutely love going thank you to all staff for their work and support with my children! ❤️”

“My daughter loves KJ Theatre Arts. She takes classes in musical theatre and tap. She has progressed so much, she has taken LAMDA musical theatre and ISTD tap exams. The teachers are brilliant and she has made some lovely friends. Definitely recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“A fantastic theatre company putting on engaging shows which relate to the the heritage and history of the local area, and teaching the next generation inspiring drama and more”

“My daughter simply loves going to Stagecoach every week, we are so pleased with our choice. Highly recommended!”

“My daughter absolutely loves going to stagecoach. Sarah has always been an amazing support! I couldn’t recommend it higher!”
