We believe it has help increase her confidence greatly and would have no hesitation in recommending your Acting School namely,“ Stageschool Ireland ” to any parent interested in developing their child’s skill set.”

“Leora has and continues to have wonderful experiences from StageSchool, with excellent friends made away from school and this is important for me as they are like minded, creative children“
Mary, Mayo
“A brilliant experience for my children and they have learned great social skills and the importance of performing on stage and off stage which has been really exciting to see that develop and for all their primary schools to notice“
“Ruairi has had a fantastic experience attending Junior Stage and we have both been impressed by the social and performing skills he gained by attending the class. It is hugely satisfying to both of us and to Ruairi to be part of the transformation in his personality and confidence gained by attending your classes which is a testament to the talent and professionalism of the tutors, management, and leaders. We remain huge advocates of what you represent and what the arts can achieve“
“He has made beautiful friends from his time in StageSchool and for that I am eternally grateful to you and your amazing team. You have managed to bring together kindred souls and it is a wonderful thing to see young people find and bond with their own tribe through a common interest. I will also miss my interactions with you all. Continued success and we will spread the word of the great work that StageSchool does as far as we can!”
Martina, McCarthy Liscannor, Co Clare
“I want to say a big thank you and congratulations for the fabulous week that Emily had at Teenage Stage. She was happy from the moment she arrived and met her room mates right to the end of the production. She talked a lot about the whole week afterwards. She really enjoyed it and appreciated working with such a talented cast. Thank you for all the work you put into making it such a successful week and congratulations on the great production, amazing to think you achieved this in such a short time frame. We hope that Emily will be able to return to Teenage Stage next summer, she is already asking about it“
Michele, Singapore
“Thank you for the email and opportunity for early booking. Nyika was so enthusiastic last summer, she really wants to participate again this year. I have sent in the booking form for her. We were equally impressed with the whole organisation, supervision and support of the summer school and have no hesitation to recommend it to friends. With thanks and best regards from Carlow.“
“The Matilda The Musical Summer Camp was stunning and my child really did not want to leave on the Friday! She tallked endlessly about the camp afterwards to her grand parents who were astonished also with what they and the teachers did in a week. You have a really great team and that would take a school a whole term or two but this was a very special course for Aine“
“I would like to congratulate all associated with the summer camp. My daughter Holly had the time of her life and has made fantastic memories and friends for the rest of her life. The staff were extremely supportive and friendly. I can not recommend this camp highly enough. Holly had no previous acting experience apart from school plays like most kids but felt at ease with others who obviously have experience. There was no agenda between the kids as they all seemed to gel very well together even with kids from 11 different countries. The show itself was amazing considering they had 6 days to put it all together and was as good if not better than some musical society’s could produce”
“Elena, 13, was the only Italian girl on Teenage Stage 2017 and it was her very first experience abroad by herself. She got to meet lovely new friends from Ireland and greatly enjoyed both rehearsals and free time. The final show was just amazing and one cannot help wondering how those kids could prepare it in just one week. It made us love Sweeney Todd, a musical that we had never properly appreciated.“
“Into The Woods and Teenage Stage was astonishing and the standard of work wouldn’t have been out of place in the West End“
Aine, Salthill
