Patricia is undoubtedly the reason that my seed of passion for performance grew into a career. I owe a lot to her. She helped me cultivate my own creative writing, and helped me realize the full narrative potential of some of my simple ideas. Her inspiration no doubt runs like roots through the artistic community across Canada and perhaps internationally. Now I am a Professional Actor working at The National Art Centre of Canada.

“Miss Patty taught me for many years of my child and young-adulthood, and I credit her for instilling in me the confidence I have today.”

Mrs.Patricia Andrews is always so kind to her students. She encourages her students to do the things they say they can’t do. Her students say all the time she is so funny. All of her class believes in her for what she does for people in our world.

"Over the past decade, all our three children have been part of Camp Hollywood and The Performing Arts Group theatre classes with “Miss Patti”. Their theatre experiences with Patricia and her team have been truly transformative. By participating in PAG, they have gained poise and confidence, as well as a genuine appreciation of their individual talents. Patricia’s passion for theatre and working with children is truly infectious! It is clear that she gets to know each child on an individual level, and she has a very special ability to bring out their strengths. Our children have greatly benefited from their PAG experiences, and I highly recommend it to any parent."

From a parent’s perspective, the most telling characteristic for me about her approach to teaching is the fact that each child, not only receives first-class performance instruction, but in this world of an over-serious, competitive approach to almost everything; Patricia lets them be children!! It’s about fun, it’s about building confidence, it’s about allowing mistakes and being themselves.

Tracey Hennessey

Parent

Patricia is such a warm, understanding and patient person. She excels in what she does and gives children confidence and encouragement that will last a lifetime. Their future endeavors in life will be made easier by Patty’s teaching and her idea of having fun in what you do, is so important. There is no pressure on the children to perform and she lets them be who they are …children. Even shy children show their “true colours” under Patty’s guidance.
