    Wow what a Showcase last week at The Hawth, Crawley! Ariel Othello's is the most amazing supportive and inclusive drama group where EVERYONE shines . This year I was blown away by the diversity of acts, the choreography and staging of songs, the creativity and fun that everyone has on stage, the support and encouragement everyone gives each other and the shear joy that is left in your heart at the end of the evening. The Showcase is just one amazing night but I know that every week is an amazing session at each Ariel Othello's drama group. If your child has a twinkle of curiosity of finding out what fun singing, dancing, acting can be with this superb drama academy ; I encourage you to let them try it for themselves.... try it for yourselves.

    My daughter nervously joined Othello's in Burgess Hill at the beginning of September and now nothing could keep her away! I can't give enough praise to the welcome and generous leader and peer support from this drama group, especially for their gift at including everyone and having wonderful fun. There is a very special buzz about Othello's that brings out the passion for drama, singing, and dance in ALL the young people there. My daughter has grown in confidence in the very short time she's been there- I couldn't recommend it more.
