Testimonials
“Glow was the best thing that ever happened to my child! He joined at 8 and left at 18 bringing about the most amazing growth in self confidence from the lead in High School Musical at the age of 10 to the belting songs by Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar at 18 plus a diverse spread of shows in between!”
“My daughter has attended Glow since she was 6 years old and has been hooked on drama since her very first class. Saturday afternoons are a never-to-be-missed weekly highlight. What Jackie and the team manage to extract from the children is simply awe-inspiring.”
“The plays and musical performances are all fabulous and of an incredibly high standard. They are a testament to the professional and nurturing direction of the Glow team, and to the talent and hard work of everyone involved.”
“We found out about GLOW through a friend and were keen to try it out for our middle son who found a love for acting whilst practising for his Year 6 leavers play. From the beginning the whole team were incredibly welcoming and he instantly made friends with like-minded children, which can be hard at school sometimes.”
“My daughter, now 11, began Glow aged 8 and has performed in a wonderful variety of musicals. From the first day she was welcomed into the Glow family by other members and staff alike, and has made some very strong friendships with fellow actors. She absolutely loves both the rehearsals and the performances themselves.”
“My daughter has been part of the Glow team for 8 years and during that time she has performed in numerous productions, all delivered to the highest standards – it is like watching a West End show! The level of teaching and inclusiveness is superb. She has made many friends, who are all very supportive of each other. A very special theatre company that I would highly recommend.”
“GLOW was one of the undoubted highlights of my teenage years. I entered with a small amount of singing experience and a tolerance for acting, and left with musical theatre as my greatest passion. The work the staff do to ensure both a friendly environment to learn within, and a professional one in which to make high quality theatre, is nothing short of remarkable.”
“What did Glow mean for Izzy? It is difficult to overstate what Glow meant to Izzy from the age of 12 to 18. It helped to build her self-confidence, forge strong and supportive friendships and discover that acting is what makes her feel truly alive.”
“We have three kids that go to Glow over the last several years. They absolutely love it, and really look forward to going. The opportunities are immense, and I can honestly say, their confidence has risen so much as a result of Glow. The teachers are tremendous. I would highly recommend this drama group to anyone.”
“What an amazing set of results. Well done to the whole Glow team who work long and hard to produce productions of this calibre.”
“My daughter loves to attend every single session at Glow Theatre Group. It is a proper acting company and she is grasping all the benefits of it. The production and teaching standard at Glow Theatre is very high and I can see her improving every session. Their shows are definitely the best!”
