Jeanette, Mum to Thomas (14 years), Burgess Hill
My son has been attending classes with Ariel Company Theatre for about 5 years now and I can't praise them highly enough. There is a fantastic atmosphere with enthusiastic and caring tutors. They work brilliantly with your children if they have any special needs, and have created a nurturing environment, where the older pupils support the younger ones. The shows they put on are amazing and very inclusive - we just saw Les Miserables which was wonderful, and often include children from the different areas, so the children get to work with a variety of different children. Being at Ariel definitely helps to improve their self confidence. The school is very welcoming to new pupils and has a buddy system to help you settle in.

Coralie, Mum of Annabel (15), Amelia (13) and Edward (11), Sussex
All my three children go to Ariel Company Theatre and my eldest has been going for 7-8 years. They all love going to the weekly classes, to the school holiday workshops but also to go and be part of the very professional stage shows that they do. Annabel goes because she loves singing and musical theatre. Amelia enjoys the musical theatre and dance and has grown in self-confidence, making many new friends outside of school since attending. Edward goes because he would love to be an actor and time spent dancing and acting is better to him than even playing football or rugby. The Ariel staff are very professional and know how to engage all the children no matter their experience or confidence, know how to make the classes fun and know how to keep discipline in the group. The work that Ariel does with special needs children is really fantastic. Annabel has become a Buddy to the special needs children on Saturday afternoons. This has inspired her future career choice and has taught her the pleasure of helping others. I have no hesitation in recommending Ariel Company Theatre to other families.

Chris, Dad of Katie 18 and Tom 15 Burgess Hill
As a family we are delighted with Ariel, and we are very grateful that both our children have developed as performers and grown in confidence over the 6 years that they have been students of the Burgess Hill Academy.
The standard of teaching is fantastic in all three disciplines of Drama, Dance and Singing.
Both my children have been cast members in many of Ariel's shows and workshops, they have had wonderful and varied experiences and opportunities from being part of Ariel. They are both Buddies within Ariel's special needs group called Othellos and take great pride in being part of this very special group. They have both made long lasting great friendships at Ariel away from school/college, which has broadened their horizons considerably.
I would highly recommend Ariel to anyone who is looking for a drama group for their children -
Sarah, Mum of Alicia (8) in North Chailey
Alicia has been attending Ariel since she was 5 and she loves it! She has been in 3 showcases at the Hawth which she absolutely loves - a great experience of the 'real' thing. The staff at Ariel are all very friendly and welcoming and have been very supportive. What is so nice is the family feel and the range of ages that the children mix with. Alicia really loves the mornings when they have a theme for things like Children in Need as she loves to dress up! Sometimes she is shy about going in at first but the team are always on hand to encourage her and she is all smiles when we collect her and her confidence is back. A huge Thank you to all the staff at Ariel who make it such a great place.

Megan has been attending Ariel Company Theatre since it started quite a few years ago. The whole ethos is great, very inclusive of all children as well as offering a very high standard of professional training in a warm and encouraging environment. My daughter really enjoys it and has had the opportunity to tutor the younger classes as well as perform in numerous productions. I would highly recommend Ariel Company Theatre.
