My daughter had a wonderful time in Kildare recently for the Teenage Stage summer school. In her own words, she felt happy and safe for the whole week. You’ve gained another summer school regular.

My twelve year old daughter went there for a week and she was happier that I could ever imagined. There are welcomed as if there were at home and they take very good care of them. The staff and students are very fun and friendly. Without doubt we will repeat next year!

Premnath K Narayanan

One of the best stage schools in Ireland. Pulling a training event together with great care and environment is absolutely marvelous. My daughter enjoyed every moment and it was her long standing dream to act. Eliz and John were very good and always reachable. Special thanks to pastoral care team (Sadbh) for taking care of her health throughout the three week residential programme.

Amazing talent all in one place! Well done for another great year - and if the adults have tips about getting their phones off them - that would be appreciated!

"Thanks for putting on such a fantastic camp! I think it says it all when Oisin said "it has honestly been one of the best week's in my life" The campaign has started to attend the 2 week course next year! Serious feat of organisation though in very difficult circumstances this year, huge credit to your team and fantastic leadership as always. All the best"

Tine Mysen

“ Teenage stage has given me so much! As a student from Norway traveling to Dublin for the first time, I felt incredibly safe. The teachers care about the students and burn for their craft. They offer us a safe enviroment and space where we can learn, grow and have fun. I made great friends and experiences I would not be without and that will stay with me the rest of my life. The only down side with these camps is that you miss everyone so much, and really don`t want to leave! “

He describes it as "far better than I ever expected and I want to go back next year" So well done to you and the team. See you next year!”

"Thank you so very much for everything you have done and have come to mean for Lily – I cannot begin to explain how much she has gained from Teenage Stage. Just a couple of years ago she came to this country a shy and unsure girl. The confidence, teamwork, passion and ambition that you have helped nurture in her, is invaluable"

Fiona McCann

"Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience Niamh had on your ‘Singing in the Rain’ camp. It was the undisputed highlight of her summer holidays; a blisteringly busy week of fun, laughs and very, very hard work! It was so well organised and the pastoral care team were great at supporting and cheering on the students so they got the most out of the experience. I’m amazed at how much you managed to accomplish in such a short space of time and the show at the end of the week was a testament to that. Niamh is looking forward to next year’s camp already!"

“We are now back in Venice after a wonderful time! Emma and Nora have loved every single moment of the week they spent with you. They have enjoyed the company, the learning experience, the incredible team work and efforts in making 'Singing in the Rain jr' which was a marvellous show!

There were many tears shed on the day of departure and many, many: "see you next year"! 🙂

We wanted to thank you once again for the extraordinary experience you have offered them!”
