Frequently Asked Questions

Does my child need previous experience?

Not at all! Our Theatre Workshops are designed for children of all experience levels, including complete beginners. Our supportive environment helps everyone feel comfortable.

What should my child wear to workshops?

Children should wear comfortable clothes they can move in easily and closed-toe shoes. No special costumes or equipment are needed.

Can parents observe the workshops?

We have designated observation days twice per term where parents are welcome to watch. This helps children build independence while still sharing their progress with you.
