Our Trainers' Thoughts
I thoroughly enjoy and derive great fulfilment working at PlayTime Theatre. As someone who teaches in several centres together with other PlayTime instructors, I hear great praises of their work from their own students. This makes me thrilled to see how much the students are excited to attend Speech and Drama classes!
