It was also good because we were all able to go from being complete strangers to being really close friends. Lyndelle was an amazing course director. She was fun, easy to talk to and be around, and always gave us her honest thoughts and advice for the situation at hand.” Rachael Shrubsole

“This course was amazing and really helped my develop my skills. I got so much out of this course and if I could I would definitely do it again. The people I met I became really close to and we are going to keep in touch. I think that by doing this course I have not just gained so many acting skills but I have gained great friends. Lyndelle is a great course director and she really understands what we need to do to make scenes the best they can be.
