From doing MB Annie, Bugsy Malone and then Fame, it actually gave me the confidence to do my Musical Theatre singing exams. Honestly, it gave me so much confidence!

Fantastic memories that will last a lifetime, Morgan & Scarlett loved their time at Make Believe and also helped us through a bad time in our lives, it gave Morgan the opportunity to live her dream so much so that she’s still doing it at 18 and for many more years to come, without you all believing in her I don’t think she’d be where she is today!
Parent
Was with Make Believe from 2009-2019 best years of my life! Definitely recommend!

I loved performing there a few years back! Well.. more than I want to admit! Bloomsbury first for Bugsy Malone! Then the Shaw Theatre for Fame then the Novello for OMG and then the Stratford Circus for Quality street! Good times! Miss it so much want to get back into it! Maybe even have my own Make Believe!

My name is Bethanie Swiney, and I am thrilled to be the principal of Make Believe Croydon. One of my greatest passions is using the performing arts to help students build confidence, form strong friendships, and develop valuable performance skills. As a trained theatre teacher with ten years of experience, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of theatre and its positive impact on students' lives. At Make Believe Croydon, we have an incredible team of teachers who are not only knowledgeable in their fields but also engaging, creative, and caring. Our focus is on helping your child develop their skills in dancing, singing, and drama while also creating a safe and welcoming environment where they can grow both personally and artistically. I am excited for the journey ahead and look forward to supporting your child on this exciting path!
