Testimonials

In2Drama is proud to be rated 5 stars on Google and to receive wonderful feedback from students and parents alike:

"I was nervous starting (the summer academy) as I didn’t know anyone and was uncertain whether I would fit in, yet by the end of the week I was wanting more. In2drama is a perfect academy to join if you’re an inspiring actor/actress that wants to develop their skills and get more experience. It is also great for those who are interested in working behind the scenes giving an inclusive workshop with cameras lighting and sound effects. The staff were so friendly, made me feel comfortable and left me feeling more confident in my drama abilities. I also felt so lucky being given acting/singing advice from a professional actor and west end star that I will use in the future."

Tommy Torreiro

"I just wanted to say how much Johnny enjoyed In2Drama club. He loved working behind the scenes with Max and was really drawn in by the various artists you had coming to teach. It’s not easy to keep Johnny engaged in a club but he was - ‘definitely going back next year mom!’ So thank you In2Drama for a top class summer club."

Lisa Wartski

"I had a great week with IN2DRAMA. This was my first drama camp, and I’m already excited for next year. At the beginning I wasn’t sure what to expect, but as the first day went on I realised I was going to like it, and I had already made lots of friends. Throughout the week several professionals came in and taught us different aspects of the performing world. That ventured from taking the perfect camera shot to using facial expressions whilst acting... I think IN2DRAMA has the perfect balance of a professional environment and a fun one. It is enjoyable, exciting and exceptional!"

Mercedes Bushnell

"Dear Phil, Thank you for your colourful newsletter & update, videos etc. The week appears to have been a huge success all round - Honor certainly loved every minute and was exhausted for half of the next week - she’s hard to wear out so you must have stretched her! I know she learnt a great deal and benefitted in so many ways from being encouraged to step outside her comfort zone and trust in herself. Thank you. A truly dedicated and outstanding effort from you and your expert team! I don’t give praise lightly - it takes a lot to impress me, but your excellent team and your incredible students did, daily."

THE ROGER COUPE IN2DRAMA SCHOLARSHIP

Our Summer Academy is open to all, however we recognise that not everyone has the ability to apply for or fund a place on our signature course. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsor, Roger Coupe Estate Agents, we are excited to be able to offer our first scholarship to a gifted young performer (aged 11-21) from the local area, so that a talented young person doesn’t miss out on the opportunity.
