Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what some former students have to say about TYP…..

“You can be who or what you want to be. All it takes is education, confidence, focus, an awesome team and an encouraging teacher is what you need for success.”
EDVIN, KBHS Junior B Team Player

“Theatresports is the magical realm where all a Scotsman could want is potato….or Theatresports is the bomb diggity… or Theatresports is awesome because it’s just another opportunity to insult Mitchell (your friends)”
Tate Steel, St Kentigern College

“TYP was such a confidence builder for me. I met some great people, who I still colaborate and work with today. Not only did I learn a bunch about performance, fast and creative thinking, the occasional free pizza was pretty sweet too.”
Chris Neels (Professional Actor studying in London.)

“Theatre Sports to Me Is Much more Than Acting, its What Releases My Emotions and Is Where I Feel Most Happiest and Most At Home.”

CONOR, KBHS Junior A Team Player and Junior B Team Captain

“Who would have thought when I started playing Theatresports in High School, that 26 years later I would still be playing, and even getting paid for it. Improv skills are great to have for stand-up, theatre and for showing off. The skills I started to develop in school have been invaluable throughout my performance career.”
Penny Ashton (Creative Director)

“I love how everyone (including the audience) works together to build up an entertaining and exciting scene. It is a collaborative flow of imaginative ideas which builds up the scene, and it relies on everyone accepting and advancing on each others unique input and thoughts.”
Adam Szentes, Glendowie College

“I love that no matter who you are off stage, you can make your audience laugh, smile and cry with you in every performance.”
Sean Stapleton (Auckland Grammar)
