"Over the past 5 years we have watched our daughter grow, not only as a performer, but also in confidence, socially and emotionally . A large part of this has been due to The Young Company's programs and fantastic teaching staff".

"My experience with TYC has evidenced to me that they have the philosophy and approach that engages, excites and enthuses children and young adults across all of their interactions. TYC encourage friendships in their workshops and are very generous with feedback, and are directed at helping children and young adults grow and reach their own potential. I'm very proud that my son is engaged with TYC and would not hesitate to recommend them highly to other parents, groups and the wider community".

"TYC in Cairns is life-changing. My children have been connected with the TYC for 2 years now and we have also been lucky enough to experience their in-school drama programmes. TYC workshops break down barriers and help foster relationships. My own personal experience with my 11 year old girl is that the TYC programmes has helped her develop more confidence and she is now a School Captain as a result. As with so many of their workshops that our children have attended. TYC also encourage their older teenagers to get involved providing them with an opportunity to project manage and managing a recruitment business myself , this is a very good skill for people to have. They are a wonderful group of people and work hard to ensure a positive environment for all involved".

“Thank you” to the young company and especially Amelia for letting the children have a chance to perform in a play and experience that thrill of performing and being under the lights! After she did her play last weekend she was on an absolute high, so proud of herself for getting up there and remembering her lines and just performing for her family. She had all the younger kids in our street reciting lines and acting out the play that afternoon and performing bits and pieces to various people without being shy like she normally is. So thank you all for doing such a great job".

"I have personally benefited enormously from The Young Company's contribution to the arts as a school teacher, a parent, and audience-member, and would love others in the community to continue to benefit also. The award-winning team spark inspiration and creativity in SO MANY of our young people in Cairns, and celebrate and encourage their contributions with a success never experienced before in our region. Cairns is so lucky to have such a dedicated, driven team of contributors , who, refreshingly, are aiming to inspire our whole community at no personal gain".

Thank you to the TYC team. I am amazed at how much the kids were able to achieve, and how much they grew during the one week program. Our kids were initially uncertain about what to expect for the week. They had fun, they made friends, they learned that they can do things they thought they could not only a week before! The smiles on their faces and the sense of achievement at the end of the performance said it all! As parents we were very impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of the TYC team and the performance day. Great job to the TYC team! Rachel O'Sullivan
TYCs holiday drama programs are dynamic, exciting and are always a great experience for my son. The performances are a great way to showcase the week. We have nothing but praise for the professional, inclusive and fun way that the programs are run. Great mentors encouraging all participants. Such a great vibe of positivity! Lisa Delany
"I started at TYC as a timid person. I wasn't good at speaking up or making friends and I had a hard time at school. My experience here at TYC is one that I will cherish forever. Not only did the team help me grow out of my shell but also become the bubbly, bright and positive person I am today. Through the creative pathways at TYC I have been able to expand my theatre and life knowledge and have become a facilitator who can tell you with ease that I LOVE teaching kids how to be who they are and helping them to grow out of their shell. TYC is and always will be a HUGE part of my life because I could never repay them enough for the experiences they have given me and the way they have helped me to become me. If you want to see your child become one of the brightest stars in the room then there is no doubt that TYC is the place for them".
