“Stagecraft not only gave me the confidence and skills I needed to be a better performer, but tools that I use in my everyday life.”

Alannah -Former Student

“My experience at Stagecraft was the first time I realized how good it felt to step outside of my comfort zone.

I gained confidence in so many aspects of my life: on stage, at home, in school and most importantly in myself!”

Ashlee - Former Student

“My daughters, Georgia and Layla attended Stagecraft Theatre School at the Scotia Dance Centre in Vancouver from approx 2004-2008. They loved the experience and it clearly made an impression as they are now 16 and back in Drama School (in the UK) and loving it.

If the program in Ottawa is anything like the one in Vancouver, I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.”

Duncan - Former Parent

“My daughter attended StageCraft classes from age 5 to 8. She loved the acting, singing, and dancing, the semester-end shows, and especially the wonderful instructors who made everything possible. Rachel knew every child and made them feel special by involving them in their characters and developing their talents. In grade 11, just after giving a big presentation, my daughter remarked,

“I never could have done this without StageCraft.”

It truly instills confidence and prepares them for whatever they want to be.”

Chris - Former Parent

I would recommend Stagecraft wholeheartedly to any parent who has a child interested in theatre or performance, and any child who would benefit from confidence building. Stagecraft is a fun, loving, environment where children surprise themselves, make great friends, and learn to step up on the stage. My only regret is that my own three children, now 9, 5, and 3, will not benefit from Rachel and her wonderful school. I frequently run into students from Stagecraft Vancouver and their parents and inevitably they tell me how much they loved Stagecraft, and how much they learned there. There are legions of families out here who wish Rachel was still in BC. Truly, what is Vancouver’s loss is Ottawa’s gain!”

Christine - Former Manager and Drama Instructor

“I had the immense pleasure of being a dance instructor for Stagecraft, there was so much fulfilment in watching the children grow in confidence and building strength of character. Stagecraft is such a happy, creative and fun theatre school that allows all children to express themselves through the Arts.”
