We asked our Cast what they like about Showtime. They said: “The people. They are so nice, so friendly, I have so many new friends. Showtime is so welcoming.” “You learn stuff. Not just singing, dancing, acting. I’m better organised now. I don’t get stressed when things go wrong. That’s just life.” “The things you learn help at school, in life, even in your career.” “It’s so not like school. Young people write the show, direct the show, make the show. We lead the show, even make the rules.” “Our rehearsals are fun. We also play games.” “The show is the best fun ever, the best two weeks of the year.”
