I'm delighted to have the opportunity to sing the praises of "DIRECTIONS THEATRE ARTS".
Since collaborating with Geoff and Julie some time ago on a charity show for a local school, I have been constantly impressed by the dedication, hard work and professionalism that is the trade mark of the "DIRECTIONS THEATRE ARTS" concept.
By delivery the 'Complete Package' time after time, DTA always guarantee total satisfaction to managements and 100% enjoyment to audiences across the land. Finally the talent they have produced is awesome. I have been lucky during my career to have worked alongside some of the biggest stars in Muscial Theatre and can say, hand on heart, that the boy and girl students of DTA would hold their own in any company.
Their skills and confidence gained by being taught by the right people in the right environment will stand them in good stead wherever they go.
May I wish DTA the very best of luck in the future and I say that knowing .....
