The Youth Academy is always looking to expand and improve our offerings!
In May, we were thrilled to launch brand new learning opportunities including How to Be A Pop Star with Stacey Kay, Show Tunes Wellness with Trayvon Ward, Magic with DJ Carroll and a Future Leaders Program!
This environment is free of judgment and full of love. Thank you for always pushing us and reminding us how important, valued and powerful we all are.
I can’t thank you enough for the courage, independence and kindness you help to instil in my kids.
Although my Dad never spoke of it to Evan or me, he was a little hesitant with the dance stuff and then theatre stuff… but then he came out of the Panto that Evan was in crying, so happy that Evan had found a place where he felt like he belonged.
As parents we got to ride this high with our son. We got to see him, for the first time, totally come into himself, for the first time, pure happiness. Something changed, he has changed….thank you.
This was the most amazing theatre experience I’ve had to date, and I’ve had a LOT! It’s the first time I’ve felt like I really belonged because you made such an inclusive environment.
Thank you! She walked away with more confidence about body image, an even deeper love of everything “theatre” and huge love and respect for her community!
The patience David shows to the children is perfect! As a teacher I recognize that this man was made to work with kids!! The way he speaks to kids makes them believe they can do anything!!!
This is where I want to be. I get to learn from Broadway performers who are performing at a theatre right next door but more importantly, I’ve made lifelong friends. Even the audition process is awesome. Drayton has helped me grow not only as a performer, but as a person.
My son has done lots of programs and I think he felt the most at home here. The children and staff were the most inclusive of any I’ve encountered.
Each and every day he arrived at Huron Country Playhouse, he knew he was stepping into a place where his passions and dreams were going to be honoured, respected and encouraged.
The staff involved had an incredible ability to push the kids outside of their comfort zones to try new things and take risks. Most of all, they were able to teach kids to embrace differences and that it’s okay to be different.
