““I am the mum of a year 6 girl and I want to say about how much we love Theatre Works. My daughter has always had a creative side and part of that is also not to like being told what to do; and as a consequence she is often put off attending after school clubs. Theatre works is different. Jo engages with my daughter in a way that enthuses and inspires her creativity. She shows belief in her with her praise and role choices in plays. She encourages her to expand her possibilities and potential by keeping her involved and included in the process. She creates a place where these young people feel safe to explore, laugh at themselves, be open, have fun and learn. Schools gear students towards outcomes and results. Theatre works gears children towards learning. I cannot recommend Theatre Works and Jo highly enough. Thank you.” ”
— Shauna, Mother of Caoimhe aged 11 years.
