“I was a part of Acting Up every year from grade 4 to grade 10. I came in as a super shy kid barely able to introduce myself on the first day, and left super confident (with a love of theatre). Not only did I learn how to sing, dance, and act, but I learned how to be resilient, brave, and manage performance anxiety. Some of my best memories are from acting up (and friends too)!”

“Acting UP! instilled in me a love for theatre and the confidence to follow my passion. This program does not only provide excellent training for aspiring actors and performers but it also provides a space for young people to explore and grow. This program nurtures the young performer’s soul and inspires a love for the arts. I will always be grateful for the time I spent with Acting UP!.”

“Acting Up has played a large part in my becoming who I am today. I’d say that ultimately Acting Up helped me to realize and nurture my skills and reach my fullest potential. When I began at Acting Up I had a passion for theatre but lacked the confidence. Acting Up gave me a safe space to grow and even exceed my own expectations. When I was there I always felt like I had someone who believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. During my time at Acting Up I formed relationships that I will cherish forever and learned many life lessons that I still carry with me today. I’m eternally grateful to have been a part of this wonderful company and I wouldn’t trade the experience for the world”.
