About Swish

Hey everyone, I'm Tina Witham, the founder of Swish of the Curtain Theatre School, and I'm thrilled to share a bit about the journey that started back in 1991. Growing up, I was enchanted by Pamela Brown's original book, and little did I know that the magic of those pages would ignite a lifelong passion.

As a child, Brown's narrative was my gateway to a world where imagination soared, and the stage became a realm of endless possibilities. Fast forward to adulthood, and the echoes of those childhood readings inspired me to create a space where every child could experience the enchantment of the performing arts.

Swish of the Curtain isn't just a theatre school; it's a homage to the awe and wonder I felt as a child reading Brown's words. Her book instilled in me a belief in the transformative power of the stage, the joy of self-expression, and the camaraderie formed under the glow of the spotlight.

Brown's timeless messages are the foundation of what we do at Swish. Our mission is to nurture the same sense of wonder and creativity that captivated me as a child. It's about more than just honing performance skills; it's about fostering confidence, embracing individuality, and creating a community where every child can shine.

So, step into Swish, where the spirit of that childhood inspiration is alive in every dance step, every line delivered, and every burst of laughter backstage. We've created a stage where the magic isn't confined to the pages of a book but comes to life with each curtain swish. Welcome to a place where the enchantment of performing arts continues to inspire, just as it did when I first discovered it between the pages of a book. 📖🎭✨
