๐ŸŒŸ WEโ€™RE CELEBRATING โ€“ EZMAE! ๐ŸŒŸ

Ezmae has been doing PLAY Drama Workshops since she was just 5 years old. Over the years she has worked her way through her Level 1โ€“4 Musical Theatre awards and is now a Level 5 Drama student on Mondays with Scott and Nickie.

Hereโ€™s what she loves about PLAY:
โ€œI love PLAY because it expands my social circle and builds my confidence!โ€

Ezmae has received Outstanding Improvement (2023 & 2025) and has performed in โ€˜The Wild Wild Westโ€™, โ€˜Songs for the Stageโ€™, and โ€˜A Musical?!โ€™ with us.

Weโ€™ve loved watching Ezmae grow in confidence and seeing her step into new challenges with ease. Weโ€™re so proud of you, Ezmae! ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽญ
