PQA Edgbaston offers exciting training for stage, screen and beyond. They really are great fun…

…I look forward to meeting you on the day!

ABOUT OUR OPENING DAY

Our aim is to introduce the ethos behind The Pauline Quirke Academy, to demonstrate what we do and how we achieve our goals, how your children will benefit from our classes and, above all, to allow your children to get a flavour of The Academy. Following a brief introduction the children are divided into age groups and get to sample classes in Musical Theatre, Comedy & Drama
