"Glow was the best thing that ever happened to my child! He joined at 8 and left at 18 bringing about the most amazing growth in self confidence from the lead in High School Musical at the age of 10 to the belting songs by Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar at 18 plus a diverse spread of shows in between! Jackie and her group of directors, both technical and creative, plus choreographers, are so impressive sharing their knowledge with the children and building them to a level of performance far beyond their years. On top of the performance opportunities the children make lifelong friends who share the same interest, thereby making the whole Glow experience one that they will treasure for the rest of their lives."

"My daughter has been part of the Glow team for 8 years and during that time she has performed in numerous productions, all delivered to the highest standards - it is like watching a West End show! The level of teaching and inclusiveness is superb. She has made many friends, who are all very supportive of each other. A very special theatre company that I would highly recommend."

"GLOW was one of the undoubted highlights of my teenage years. I entered with a small amount of singing experience and a tolerance for acting, and left with musical theatre as my greatest passion. The work the staff do to ensure both a friendly environment to learn within, and a professional one in which to make high quality theatre, is nothing short of remarkable. I would happily recommend GLOW for any children of any ability, safe in the knowledge that they would have a terrific time and learn a massive amount."

"Bella started Glow when she was 9/10 year's old and has had an amazing experience. She loves the opportunity to do amazing shows, spending time with talented kids of all ages and being part of a 'family'. The Glow team are supportive encouraging and talented. They know how to get the best out of all the actors and make the show experiences fantastic. I would highly recommend Glow - it will help develop your child's confidence, talent and overall well being.
Bella intends to be at Glow until she has to leave because she is too old!"

"My daughter has attended Glow since she was 6 years old and has been hooked on drama since her very first class. Saturday afternoons are a never-to-be-missed weekly highlight. What Jackie and the team manage to extract from the children is simply awe-inspiring. They are a truly remarkable little family, with the older children taking great responsibility to encourage the younger ones. It seems to me that every child matters and gets a chance to shine and find their niche. They put on extraordinarily accomplished performances from musicals, to thought-provoking plays to Shakespeare for 7 year olds! I cannot speak more highly of the Glow team and all they stand for. I suspect that my daughter will be indebted to this formative experience well into adulthood. She has her sights set on RADA already!"

"My daughter, now 11, began Glow aged 8 and has performed in a wonderful variety of musicals. From the first day she was welcomed into the Glow family by other members and staff alike, and has made some very strong friendships with fellow actors. She absolutely loves both the rehearsals and the performances themselves. It is wonderful seeing her confidence grow on stage with each production and knowing just how happy she is to be with the Glow crew. The energy, commitment, passion and belief that all the Glow staff give to and have in their children is phenomenal and we feel very lucky that our daughter has this opportunity."

"What did Glow mean for Izzy? It is difficult to overstate what Glow meant to Izzy from the age of 12 to 18. It helped to build her self-confidence, forge strong and supportive friendships and discover that acting is what makes her feel truly alive. And for Louise? As a ‘junior’ it gave her the opportunity to be part of a team, enjoy the whole experience of rehearsing, dressing up in costumes, learning lines, being challenged with dance routines and ultimately entertaining an audience and feeling great when you get the applause."

"Glow has been hugely beneficial for my daughter. She joined Glow when she wasn’t having a particularly positive time at school and having something fun to look forward to each weekend was a real lifeline. Being surrounded by such positive and supportive staff and other Glow members really helped her to regain her confidence. She had made some strong friendships with children outside of school which is great. Of course her acting skills have improved dramatically as well!"

"Glow continues to provide fantastic experiences for our daughter and son. They regard Glow as their second family, have made wonderful friends and the Saturday rehearsals are the highlight of their week. The rehearsal schedule and performances have increased their confidence, given them skills to work in teams and helped them to manage their time and schoolwork carefully. The plays and musical performances are all fabulous and of an incredibly high standard. They are a testament to the professional and nurturing direction of the Glow team, and to the talent and hard work of everyone involved."

"We found out about GLOW through a friend and were keen to try it out for our middle son who found a love for acting whilst practising for his Year 6 leavers play. From the beginning the whole team were incredibly welcoming and he instantly made friends with like-minded children, which can be hard at school sometimes. We were so happy with the confidence he is gaining, the skills he learns and the friends he has made and his younger brother clearly felt he was missing out so was eager to join too! I have chaperoned at every performance and we see a lot of their friends outside of the group and I can never get over how mature, polite, considerate and lovely they all are. The quality of their performances blow us and our family and friends away every single time. We are so thrilled they both joined the GLOW family and it really is a family."

"We have three kids that go to Glow over the last several years. They absolutely love it, and really look forward to going. The opportunities are immense, and I can honestly say, their confidence has risen so much as a result of Glow. The teachers are tremendous. I would highly recommend this drama group to anyone."
