Testimonials
"Fabulous children's theatre company. Fliss and Cathy are passionate about what they do and are dedicated to providing a top quality experience for the children."-C Kodagoda.
"My 10 year old daughter attended a 2 day workshop at Make Believe a Story. She thoroughly enjoyed it and asked herself when the next workshops would be!
She has attended similar clubs, but this one was the best by far. Can highly recommend, great staff, friendly relaxed atmosphere, varied activities and new skills and abilities learnt."-Jen.
"My daughter has had the most fantastic week with Cathy and Fliss, their passion and enthusiasm for sharing storytelling and drama is never ending. The nurturing and encouraging environment they can create never fails to bring the very best out of the children. Over the years my daughter has been in their class, she has developed more and more with confidence and skills.-Iain Lill.
"The children were very lucky to have a visit from Make Believe a Story, theatre company. They had great fun joining in with all the actions and singing along."-L Hastings Academy.
"Our son attended this year's school holiday camps with Make Believe a Story. He's always keen to go, and to see the confidence he has developed with them so quickly is wonderful. He picked up some pretty impressive skills while at camp too-stage fighting, West End dance, joke telling and stage confidence to name a few. The children were clearly at ease with Fliss and Cathy and the skills they had learnt were demonstrated in a fabulous end of week showcase-such a lovely treat for parents to see their children and how they have grown :)
Our son raves about how much fun they have, how kind and friendly everyone is, and is keen to return (which I think says it all really!) As a parent, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.-M Beecham.
