Teenage Stage January Testimonial of the month from Paris!

Happy new year Teenage Stagers across the globe! We share a lovely story written by excellent actress, Gigi, age 13 from Paris who was brilliant in Legally Blonde and these are all Gigi's words.

"I assure you with confidence that anyone truly in love with the joys of acting that participate in this memorable experience will not be disappointed. But before I get into all of that, let me tell you a bit about myself;

I am a thirteen year old American currently living in the capital of France, the beautiful city of Paris. I am a writer, actress, gymnast, artist, singer, pianist, animator, super-taster and a debater (just to name a few passions!). I found it difficult to find an intense English Theatre programme for my summer break. Then I stumbled upon Teenage Stage after finding their website on the internet.
Upon my arrival in Clongowes Ireland, one of the two locations, the other being Dublin, I was welcomed warmly with snacks and smiling faces. The tone of the camp is set the moment one arrives and launches into auditions and, within hours, directors had us read lines from script, sing various roles, and test out our dancing skills. The intensity of instruction and close knit groups make the whole experience a wonderful ride to a finale that you long for once over.

For the duration of 7 short days, every member of the “theatre family” worked extremely hard at putting everything into the final performance and improving the actors into a top of the line, mini broadway spectacle!

I met so many friends for life that share my passion. The girls I befriended in my dorm had a great sense of humour, and we all loved hanging out with each other during meals or during our spare time.

I’m looking forward to our next show and meeting new, unique personalities! Hope you have fun!
