"Hold the Applause is an amazing company. Genuinely a company that gives children/teens a great opportunity to benefit from their knowledge, work hard, and be part of an awesome finished performance. My daughter has really developed a sense of passion for drama through them and, as a result, her confidence in herself has sky rocketed. Highly recommended."   — Cecilia S.
