We are proud to work with these actors
…on a regular basis.
All names underneath are in alphabetical order – to show you that we love working with them all equally, as we acknowledge their strengths and interests. Here is some insight into their style. They are all wonderful and we are proud that they chose to work with us too!
We stand behind working with highly skilled, professional theatre-makers, who are dedicated to teaching and inspiring the young during their sessions. We hope these actors’ sparks of inspiration last a lifetime for each student and help them develop into wholesome, well-educated, but also emotionally competent and empathic adults.
Check out some of the work they do through links at the end of each bio.
