"Our daughter joined Act2act 4 years ago and it's been the best thing that we've ever done for her!! Georgia and Lorraine are amazing and have done so much for her that I wouldn't even know where to begin!!! She began as a shy little girl who liked to perform, but had no idea what her potential was. Fast forward to present day and she's just finished performing as the main character in the latest show and was quite simply a joy to watch!!! Acting, singing, dancing and a confidence oozing from her that was contagious! The other children in the group are all amazing and it's so nice for our daughter to be a part of this multi-talented and gifted collective! Your contribution to who she is today has been invaluable and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts." - Parent
"I was blown away by the children who were all so talented but also genuinely supportive of one another. It was lovely to see the older ones checking in and encouraging the young children; I think a testament to the ethos of Act2Act - a wonderful, energetic young community of budding performers!" - Sara Crean-Muir - Parent
"I encouraged my son Jacob (10 years old) to audition for Oliver in April 2017 to try and develop his self-confidence which was beginning to dip after a recent dyslexia diagnosis. I was also looking for a hobby that would get him off the sofa and engaged in something that wasn't "tech"! Act2Act Youth Theatre has been an amazing experience. Yes - it ticked both of the boxes I have just mentioned but it has done so much more too. Georgia and Lorraine make each child feel included and important and the positive feedback from each and every rehearsal is wonderful to hear. They run their theatre company very professionally but haven't lost that family-friendly vibe which means Jacob looks forward to going each week. He has never viewed it as a chore. Jacob has learned that hard work can be fun, that practice really does make perfect and your cast are your team-mates who support you every step of the way. Thanks Act2Act Youth Theatre!" - Rachel -Parent
"Act2Act has been a fantastic experience for my daughter, every year I am blown away with the performances, not only are the shows so professionally put together but you can tell that each of the children are having a ball on stage. Georgia and Lorraine are incredibly supportive and encouraging, bringing out the best in all of the children. I believe that Act2Act is unique, my children have been part of numerous clubs and groups, none of which have had the same family feel of Act2Act. I'm sure she will continue to be a member of Act2Act for many more years and I couldn't recommend it highly enough!" - Kelly - Parent
"My kids have been going to Act2Act for quite some time. My older one has done about five shows and my younger one has done two. I’ve seen all of them and with each show the quality just gets better and better. My kids always tell me how fun performing with the group is and how the way the entire thing is set up makes it feel so professional." - Katarzyna - parent
"I have gone to Act2Act for 9 years now and all 9 shows I have been apart of got better and better. Everyone puts in 100% and the support from Georgia And Lorraine is incredible. I don't know where I would be without them. They have changed my life in the best way possible. I love Act2Act so much." - Kieran aged 15
"Our eldest daughter has been a member of Act2Act for several years and absolutely loves it. This year she has been joined by her 7 year old sister and they have thoroughly enjoyed participating in High school musical together. We are always amazed at how professional the shows are but know that a huge amount of effort goes into it by the cast and Georgia and Lorraine. It does wonders for the confidence of the kids involved and is superb value. We would highly recommend!" Scott and Ketlin - Parents
"Shh, don't tell everybody! Act2Act are a fabulous mother and daughter team. Initially my teenage son planned to go for a couple of weeks, now two years down the line he can't wait for his weekly dose of drama! I highly recommend Act2Act and I love the fact that they are a small, local independant company who genuinely care and help nuture your child" A "very fussy" mum from Harpenden
"It is with grateful thanks to Georgia and Lorraine for providing an opportunity whereby our children and teens can have such fun. Developing both personally and professionially whilst working towards putting on a high quality show" Claire - Parent
"Act2Act is a fantastic youth theatre group creating opportunities for all members to perform in a proper theatre environment. There is a real warmth about the group with Georgia and Lorraine being at the centre of this. My daughter looks forward to every Saturday when she will sing, dance and act all whilst being in the company of those who have become good friends. Show week is looked forward to by all... even the parents! The adrenaline, excitement and enthusiasm of all those involved is a pleasure to see" Parent
"My daughter joined Act2Act 5 years ago at the age of 8 and it has been incredible to watch how her confidence has grown, both on the stage and within her everyday life at school and socially. Georgia, Lorraine and the team never stop encouraging and inspiring the kids, the shows that are produced are very professional and the children clearly take pride in their roles, their enthusiasm and energy beaming off the stage!" Jane Graham - parent
"My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed Act2Act. She has been part of bigger drama groups but the warmth and family feel at Act2Act has inspired her to become more outgoing as well as inspiring her with their zest for performance. My daughter was already planning her next performance with Act2Act before the last show had finished" - Dael Grace - Parent
"Act2Act Youth Theatre really hits the mark! The productions are fun and exciting and the coaching is very professional without ever being pressured.

"My Daughter has been a cast member of Act2Act since they established in 2011. Rehearsing now for her sixth show! Her confidence and ability has grown during the years due to the nurturing yet professional development within the musical theatre genre that Georgia and Lorraine have given her. It is great that the cast have a wonderful show to work towards which makes them so commited and driven. Also us parents get the opportunity to see the rewards for their childrens participation in an established theatre. Show week is a fun and exciting time for all! Many friends are also made at Act2Act's youth theatre group which is another reason the children keep coming back show after show. Many Thanks!" - Ky-ling Gavigon - parent
"From Act2Act I have created my closest friends and have developed my skills of singing, acting and dancing. Act2Act has improved my confidence so much and we're all like a big family. I can't imagine not coming here every saturday!" Olivia aged 14
"My daughter who is nearly 8 is mad about Act2Act. She really enjoys the combination of singing, acting and dancing. Performing in "Annie Jr" in a proper theatre was an amazing experience with numerous costume changes in the dressing rooms and the responsibility of getting herself on stage from the right side of the wings at the correct time. It was an impressively professional performance. Georgia and Lorraine know how to get the best out of all the children, and the musicals lend themselves very well to everyone having stage time and a decent part to play. Why go to a rather dull acting class when you can be in a show?! The group is really friendly and the older children are kind to the younger ones and make excellent role models. All in all my daughter absolutely loves her saturday afternoons at Act2Act" - Katherine Crowley - Parent
"My son Jack has been coming to Act2Act for the past four years. During that time he has performed in five shows and is busy preparing for his sixth (High school musical.) Act2Act is as close to how I would imagine a professional stage show would be run. The children enjoy the thrill and sense of achievment of putting on a professional performance and also the fun of an "after show party." They also get to be part of the decision making process for future performances. Jack has made friends for life here and has grown in confidence and ability. Also there are no extra hidden charges - you only pay for the weekly rehearsals and tickets; dress rehearsals during the performance week are free. Thanks Act2Act" - Gill Crawford - parent
"My two boys have recently started Act2Act and have just completed their full performance and first show week! They are hooked!

"I have been coming to Act2Act for around 6 years now and I have loved every rehearsal and show. It is so comforting to come into such a welcoming group of teachers and friends every week and to know that you are progressing with your talents all the while. Georgia and Lorraine are great teachers and they never fail to put on an amazing show without being strict and incorporating fun into everything we do. Act2Act has made me much more confident and improved my performance skills and every year I can sense how much we all progress, show after show. The team are great and I hope to come back for many more years" - Francesca aged 14
