What our parents say...
"Showstoppers is more than just a theatre school—it’s a place where children are truly seen, encouraged, and empowered to become the best versions of themselves. We feel so lucky to have found this gem."
"Our little one’s confidence has changed so much since starting. She was so shy and never had the confidence to join in or speak up around other adults or children outside of family. Today we watched her perform in a show, I can hardly believe it’s the same child getting up on stage in front of a huge crowd of grown ups and loving every second of it. She was so confident and gave it everything she had while having so much fun with it. We are so immensely proud of her and can’t thank the entire team enough for helping us to build her up into the amazing little person she is."
"My daughter has been attending Showstoppers for 3 months. Her confidence has shot through the roof! She sings and dances around the house daily and has found a love of musicals and the theatre. Showstoppers has been a total game changer. Seeing my little girl on stage at the Showstoppers show showed me a side of her I haven't seen. Thank you Showstoppers for lighting a fire in my little girl and building her confidence."
