‘Daniel told me that the students going for nomination for school captain this week all said in their speeches that they got their confidence from the after school drama class. He said that he got lots of confidence from it too, and it all goes back to his first monologue, things began to change for him from that point. (I don’t know if you remember, but this was the monologue that he begged me to get him out of because he was too scared to do it).’

Bas’s Mum, Kylie Washington – December, 2016

‘William has absolutely loved this year doing drama and I think it has really helped his confidence generally but also in speaking. I see such a difference, even when he visits my work and has to interact with adults he does not know well. He has come a long way. So thanks. I found his ability to bounce back today when he forgot his lines, incredible. Resilience is what every parent wants for their child. It is sometimes hard to get the balance right between wanting them to be sensitive but also able to manage set backs. I saw a glimpse of that today and was very proud.’

William’s Mum, Samantha Gooch – December, 2016

‘ … Thank you to you and Sarah for the guidance and support you gave Marco last term. He initially started the drama program after school to boost his confidence going into the audition process for Newtown Performaing Arts High School. The result was not only that I saw Marco being more self confident in front of an audience (monologue), but more importantly, that he believed he could express himself in his own way. Marco made the shortlist for his drama audition. The final results are yet to be distributed, but no matter what the outcome, the drama program was enriching for Marco.’

Marco’s Mum, Jane Guthrie – August, 2016

‘You and Sarah did a fantastic job of giving Hamish the space to get into his skin, find his comfort zone, and we couldn’t believe his participation by the end! What a thrill for him, and for us too, to see his excitement and pride on the night of the performance … You do amazing work with the kids … And I want you to know how wonderful your work is, and that we’re very grateful to have you as part of our school. You rock!’

Hamish’ Mum, Nonie Wales – May, 2016

‘Cate is going to do your program forever! Drama has been the key factor in her opening up and gaining the confidence she has needed!’

Cate’s Mum, Christina – January 2016

‘Thanks for providing such a stellar program for our kids! Lani truly loves it and looks forward to it every week. I know this because it is one of the few things that I don’t have to remind her to do so she must be pretty motivated! :)’

Lani’s Mum, Laura – December, 2015

‘Thank you so much for giving Max such a wonderful fun experience at Drama camp. He has been doing the NIDA camps and he enjoyed yours a lot more! Please keep us posted on future holiday programs as we will most definitely see you again!’

Max’s Mum, Eliana Isis Dona – April, 2015.

‘We are already looking forward to the next Red Roar Five-Day Play. The kids had such a fantastic time. Thank you again for giving the kids the space to create, play, learn and grow. Red Roar has built Jade’s confidence, reminding her how much she loves to dance (which she hasn’t done since she was three). She is now starting hip-hop lessons. I loved the show, it was great to see all the kids had a special part and were all included. I cannot wait for the next one. I have recommended Red Roar to everyone who asked and will continue to recommend Red Roar.’

Jade & Leon’s Mum, Georgia Bartley (May 2014)

‘The more established providers of Kids Theatre don’t produce programs as fun as these, or performances as good as these! Red Roar is is REAL value for money!’

Maddie’s Mum, Kerrie Cant (February 2014) 

• “Red Roar’s Five-Day Play was the best fun Liesl has had in the school holidays in a long time. She thoroughly enjoyed it and loved the build up to the performance on the final day, which the parents enjoyed as much as the kids. It really was wonderful to see them in action.”

Liesl’s Mum, Lynda Jupp (October, 2013)

• “I have invited the Red Roar programs into three different school settings in Sydney over the last fifteen years. The level of engagement they achieve with students from a wide range of different backgrounds and ability levels is outstanding. Whether they’re working as teachers, writers or whole-school event directors, the passion that the Red Roar artists have for what they do, and their attention to detail, make them a fabulous asset to any school.”

• Abbey Proud – Principal, Newtown Public School

• “The creative arts activities were perfectly pitched and presented. There was flexibility in the delivery that allowed for the diversity of the students participating, but above all students were being inspired. Hands were shooting up everywhere to answer questions, to have their say. Even the most reserved and quiet ones were jumping up to have a go. These programs gave them maximum enjoyment, more confidence, and a fuller sense of belonging.”
  Anna Carmody – Program Manager, The Song Room

• “Island Night was a fabulous multi-arts event held at Galiwin’ku, Northern Territory in September 2012. Rarely does an event succeed so well in bringing school and community together in celebration. The students owned it. Their parents and families were massively proud. School staff, local artists and students were fully engaged, and that was all down to dynamic teaching, careful planning and facilitation full of heart. ”
  Bindi Isis – Manager, Corrugated Iron Youth Arts AIRS Program
