What Families Say


"Peacock Players has been so welcoming, a positive learning environment
for skill building and a LOT of fun!!" - Jessica

"The Peacock Players family welcomed us wholeheartedly from the very first day.

As one of the youngest actors in the production, our daughter had many mentors

among the older cast members. The communication, education, and feedback from

directors went above and beyond our expectations, while they fostered a nurturing,

positive, and inclusive environment for all." - Alison

"As a parent, I am so thankful to watch my kids thrive on stage directed by

a group of talented educators who want to see them be the best 

versions of themselves." - Michelle
