Testimonials
"My daughter loves the whole PYT experience. She has grown in confidence and enjoys every minute of being part of this inspiring group. It has also given her new skills, under the expert guidance of Wendy C. Miller and her staff, who are so well equipped to develop and nuture these young people. It is structured but enjoyable and Milly loves attending the rehearsals and sessions that encourage her to build upon new ideas and ways of performing. Thank you to everyone concerned for the past year and here's to many more!"
Rachel Webb, Parent
"Since joining PYT my daughter has looked forward to every rehearsal with great enthusiasm. She has particularly loved learning new dance routines, drama and being part of an enthusiastic and eager group of children.
My daughter is very excited about showing off the skills she learnt during the production of Bugsy Malone."
Fe Abrahams, Parent
"A lovely group of students attend the rehearsals and workshops. Whenever I pop in there’s a relaxed, family atmosphere and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. The tutors take things seriously but everyone also has a lot of fun. Jacob had done a fair bit of drama before joining but was not confident with dancing and singing. He has gained a tremendous amount from being given the opportunity to work on all three skills. It’s given him a chance to consider different aspects of performing and his confidence has risen as a result. Overall we’ve been very pleased with Jacob’s experience at Paramount.
Seath Crook, Parent
"All of the kids that go to Paramount are really nice and so is the choreographer and the director. It’s a very nice atmosphere and everyone is having fun. Before I came I had already done acting but I wasn’t very confident about singing or dancing but now I think I’m getting better at them. I think that Paramount is very enjoyable."
Jacob Crook, Student
"Callum joined PYT in January 2009 after auditioning for Bugsy Malone. He has always loved performing and PYT gives him the chance to not only perform but also see what has to be done in the background to get the show ready. He loves meeting and working with people from all over the area who are from different schools and with different abilities. Well done PYT."
Callum & Sue Panton, Student & Parent
"My daughter has been attending PYT for just over one term and has thoroughly enjoyed it. The best part for me is that she looks forward to going and is so enthusiastic about what she has learnt when she gets home. She has become noticeably more confident with her own abilities and really enjoyed taking to taking to the stage in Bugsy Malone."
Dayle Adams, Parent
"I think that Paramount Youth Theatre is a fantastic opportunity for all those who enjoy musical theatre to show others their skills in a fun but professional manner. It is so nice to be able to escape your everyday routine to come to Paramount Youth Theatre every Monday evening/Sunday afternoon and to act, sing and dance with other children no matter of their gender or age! The production team are extremely friendly and are really good at encouraging us to perform to the best of our abilities. I LOVE PYT!!"
Tom Codd, Student
"The main differences between Paramount Youth Theatre and other organisations who boast about their stage training is that it is much smaller and friendlier and that everyone in the group is involved in a production. The other similar organisations appear to favour certain individuals for whatever reason and have an elitest attitude. From the first audition when my son joined, PYT has proved that every member is important.
From Day 1 my son felt like he belonged and always looks forward to his Monday nights."
Paul Moorhouse, Parent
"Whilst I have been involved in Paramount Youth Theatre, I have really enjoyed the time I have spent with you. I have never been a part of a theatre group before, and I am already learning new things. The highlight of my time with you so far was choreographing "down and out" for Bugsy Malone which I really enjoyed. I am very keen to do more with my time at Paramount."
