Why Should My Child Study Theatre?

It’s not just about having fun, it’s also about building skills for life.

Growing up in the theatre is certainly a place to make wonderful life-long friends while having lots of fun, but it offers much, much more than that.

Through participating in theatre your child can develop the key skills they will need to grow into happy and successful young adults.

Surveys consistently show that children who study theatre show higher than average rates of reading, language and comprehension skills along with higher levels of concentration and motivation to learn.

Here are some of the many key benefits of introducing your child to the theatre:

  • Building confidence & self-esteem.
  • Improved communication and presentation skills.
  • Learning to work effectively within a team.
  • Improving time management skills.
  • Learning to be patient.
  • Building resilience.
  • Developing empathy for others.
  • Building problem solving skills.
  • Developing self-discipline.
