Hear directly from the parents and alumni who've lived the Charactors experience.
The Teen Musical Theatre program has exceeded our expectations! It's beyond a space to develop acting, singing and dancing talents — it's a space to build confidence and practise key life skills. Megan, Wayne and Sharon create a warm, fun and energetic environment that culminates in a high-quality performance.
I spent 10 years as a student at CharActors and it honestly transformed my life. They help instil confidence for any child to be whoever they want to be. I met some of my best friends and role models there — people I know will be around for a lifetime!
Some of my most special childhood memories are of my time at CharActors. Megan and Wayne created a safe working environment where we could all create freely. I credit my many years there for my decision to pursue a career in the arts.
Charactors alumni perform with Canada's top theatre companies and appear on stage, screen, and television worldwide — and many have built careers behind the scenes too.
