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!

Fabulous memories, especially Sam and Nathan in Blood Brothers!

Not only has Make Believe built my daughters confidence in such a short space of time, but she gets to be a child and do what she loves!

OMG, Jack LOVED being part of Make Believe. He’ll be 18 this year! Time flies. You were and are amazing and as a family, we love you all so much. Make Believe encourages children to believe in themselves and have fun at the same time. Just wonderful. We will always be grateful to you!

Brandon just loved his time there and he’s now 16! Went to Edgware for many years and we all have fab memories of the shows!
Parent
Made a whole lotta great memories and I’m extremely glad to be a part of Make Believe for several years!
Student
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
Beautiful memories, amazing people!
Student

I wouldn’t be living the dream if it wasn’t for Make Believe! Thank you!

Welcome to the happiest place ever! Make Believe is the UK’s most exciting performing arts company! A place where young people learn to sing, act and dance, realise their potential dreams and aspirations, whatever their level or ability; a place where students flourish, make friends, have fun and learn skills for life.
Thousands of young people have been a part of the Make Believe journey and we’d love you to join them.

Hi, I’m Maisy, the Principal of Make Believe Mile End, and I’m so excited to welcome you to our school! Where confidence grows, friendships are made, and every child gets their moment to shine. My journey with Make Believe started when I was a student myself. Being part of those classes sparked my love for performing and inspired me to pursue it further. Since then, I have gone on to achieve a degree in Dance and also gained my Diploma in Dance Education with the ISTD, allowing me to combine my passion for performing with teaching and inspiring the next generation. I have now been teaching children for over six years, and helping young performers grow in confidence and creativity is something I truly love. Watching students develop their skills, build friendships, and discover what they are capable of is the most rewarding part of what I do. For me, Make Believe is about so much more than singing, dancing, and acting. It’s about building confidence, making friends for life, and giving every child the chance to experience the joy of performing in a supportive and encouraging environment. Having once been a Make Believe student and now becoming a Principal feels incredibly special to me, and I’m so excited to give our students the same inspiring experience that first made me fall in love with performing. I can’t wait to welcome you to Make Believe Mile End, see you soon!
