“As a young actor, this course has provided me with exactly what I need, good teachers who are there both to help you develop your skills and to just show you a good time, and other actors who in turn have also helped me learn how to develop my own skills….. I did try other acting schools first but no others could offer the diversity, fun, experience, teachers, talent or, of course, the end of term performance….If you have a budding young actor who can not stop performing, singing or are just plainly energetic, Point Break Drama will channel these talents and energy into an incredible acting program. I am not going to stop until the age limit makes me leave.”
