Parent
SET THE SCENE acting classes have developed my child’s confidence, allowing her to express herself fully socially, academically and on stage. Our hearts are filled with pride and joy as she radiates passion and enjoyment performing. The class fosters friendships and valuable life skills like teamwork, adaptability and courage. Drama helps her develop empathy as she steps into the shoes of different characters and acts out their lives or perspectives. Thank you to her amazing drama teacher that is a source of inspiration and encouragement, not only in drama classes and productions, but also in her academic assignments and public speaking.

Student
I absolutely love my SET THE SCENE acting classes and have been a part of the class for many years now. It’s my favourite part of the week as I get to work with my amazing peers, and it’s something I get to do with my sister. I have always been extremely shy but the acting classes have tremendously improved my confidence and I have come a long way in my acting abilities.

Melissa Crabtree (Burton) - Casting Agent
I have had the privilege of seeing in action the results that Set the Scene can provide. Kids are more Confident, allowing them to feel at ease in front of the Camera. The Screen Course is fantastic, as our Industry leans more towards Self Tape, and less time for In Person Auditions, we need Talent that are at ease in front of the Camera, from their first Audition. Set The Scene provides Knowledge and Experience from Industry Professionals to help teach Kids relevant training for what Casting Directors are looking for Today. Highly recommend this Course to anyone who not only wants to be an Actor, but also for those that are wanting to grow their Confidence - a must for all Kids!
