Theater school in Derby

“My daughter loves attending and loves being taught by Miss Sally. Being able to dance and sing and participate in shows has given my daughter so much confidence. Cabaret Theatre School is like a family. Once you join, you'll never want to leave.”

“My daughters have been attending studio 86 since the eldest was 19months they absolutely love the classes, they currently do tumble tots and ballet and tap. They have grown in confidence now and love joining in with Laura and Bethany both are amazing coaches and it feels as though we are part of their family. Thank you guys for the amazing support you give us all not just the kids x”

“After being heavily involved in drama groups and small productions I came to an age where I wanted to further develop my acting and performance skills. Joining Theatre Cats straight away impacted my confidence, and self belief. Having such a variety of teaching methods helped each individual in different ways through workshops, games, improvisation, exams and full productions. Theatre Cats wasnt just a educational experince it became a big part of my life, creating life long friends and allowed me to have such a strong support network for future works. The skills and tools gained from these classes made me realise what I wanted to do with the talented I now saw I had. After recently graduating from Edgehill University with a 1st class degree in musical theatre, and writing and creating a variety of short films and a being freelance model, the possibilities for the future are so exciting. I want to thank the Theatre Cats family for helping me along the way!”

“Awesome. Fun place. Lots of dance classes. Great cafe with delicious cake....”

“Always excited to see the reaction when we pick up our son - Razzamatazz has totally changed his confidence for the better. Couldn't recommend it more!”

“I would like to say a big thankyou to Shanley and the team for making Ruby's experience of the online classes very enjoyable, she loved every minute of it. You are all amazing and doing a great job in these horrible circumstances keep up the great work and hopefully we will be back to normal soon xxx”

“My nine year old loves this place. She has been involved in all sorts of activities and her confidence has massively improved.”

“Fantastic classes provided by Stagecoach. 100% dedication from staff to engage and interest the students. There's outstanding opportunities for children to meet new people, learn new skills and perform at impressive venues! My confidence excelled under the influence of great teachers and the friendly, hospitable atmosphere. Would highly recommend!”

“Clean tidy great menu and helpful people. Dance studio 2 was nice the only downside no air con, windows couldn’t be opened.”

“Took 60 nursery children to see a show here. The staff were absolutely brilliant! Looked after us from start to finish. Would definitely book another outing here.”

“Great night out with 2 lovely friends. The Last Quiz Night on earth hit the spot perfectly. An interactive quiz with a comedic play by the side. Different and well worth it. Staff are welcoming and we won a bottle of wine, happy days. Will definitely visit again for one of their socials. Well done all .....Apparently not a social, but it got people out and about, which is great :)”

“We saw Cats in December 2012 here and was blown away! I had heard other people talk about the venue and how good it was, and they where right. Since then my husband and I have beeen to the Comedy Club (AMAZING!!!) and saw Westside Story and Les Mis! We have stopped going to Derby Live & Derby Theatre since finding this place. You can tell the staff really care about the venue and it customers. I highly recommend going to see a show.”

“Tis pretty sick guys. Well actually my son. Is my mam!”

“Absolutely wonderful 5th Birthday Party today! Can not thank Dizzy The Wizard enough. Nothing was too much trouble, even hosting an Xmas birthday disco in June! The party games, snow machine and magic show were amazing and Dizzy had all the children in hysterics. The birthday girl was made to feel so special and the adults were as entertained by Dizzy the Wizard as the children were. Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you.”

“Absolutely brilliant everyone is lovely my child is doing really well and now has so much confidence”

“My daughter and I have enjoyed being with First Stage for a decade now. The teachers are lovely and the training is fantastic. We also love being a part of the wider dance family of friends and parents.”

“I've had a fabulous introduction to the 'World of Acting'. The polite, knowledgeable and courteous staff made this experience one that I hope will continue.”

“If you’re looking for a performing arts/dance group for your child, Born To Perform Academy is excellent! My daughter attends a number of the lessons offered and she has grown in technical knowledge as well as having fun with a fantastic group of young performers. She absolutely loves it!”

“Action academy is a brilliant drama school for children, it teaches them so many different skills in the industry, the teacher is super nice!”

“Workshop my kids attended before Christmas was great. We knew this drama school was going to be launched on the back of it and booked up for the open day as soon as it launched and will deffo be enrolling too. Kids had a great day - we had a break!”

“Great, drop our daughter off for her first session hope she likes it.”
