Make Believe is a wonderful platform for young children to express themselves & be given the confidence & direction to perform

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!

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!

Love the memories we have of Make Believe. Jamie had the best time ever with you every week. Your school always welcomed anyone and everyone and gave them all the same support. Make believe is a time in Jamie’s life that he will never ever forget. Thank you for everything!
Parent
Ben and Georgia loved their time at Make Believe and we will always have great memories from this!
Parent
I wouldn’t be living the dream if it wasn’t for Make Believe! Thank you!
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!
