PQA Luton

So much to gain from joining The Pauline Quirke Academy! More than just Musical Theatre......

Congratulations to PQA Northampton, PQA Burton Upon Trent (I think but can't tag) and PQA Sutton Coldfield who absolutely smashed their performances in the West End last night. What an incredible standard. I especially enjoyed passers by asking if someone famous was coming out of the theatre when all the parents lined the street at the Stage Door! Amazing :)

Amazing Amazing Photographers at the recent Casting Day in London. Beautiful photos of Leo who struggles with eye contact and rarely looks at the camera if photos are taken. Good luck to all those who are yet to attend the Quirky Kidz casting days. Its a really safe and relaxed atmosphere and you will leave with great Headshots!

You may have seen the recent press announcement that our founder, Pauline Quirke MBE, will be stepping back from public life due to her diagnosis of dementia. The full announcement can be found here: https://www.itv.com/news/2025-01-21/pauline-quirke-steps-back-from-public-life-after-revealing-dementia-diagnosis

We have been deeply moved by the messages that we have received, and it has been wonderful to see how many lives Pauline has touched through her work with PQA and in her 50 year career in film and television.

Improving the lives of young people through the performing arts has been PQA’s ethos since Pauline and Steve opened their first academy in 2007 and remains central to everything that we do.

We want to assure you all that things will continue as normal at PQA, and that we remain committed to delivering outstanding performing arts tuition.

We hope you will join us in sending our love and support to Pauline, Steve and their family as well as respecting their wishes for privacy.

NOTICE: From Saturday 11th January 2025 we move to our home at the lovely Beech Hill Community Primary School on Dunstable Rd, Luton LU4 8BW. Look forward to seeing you all there!

Get in touch for a space on our PQA Luton Summer School from Monday 12th - Friday 16th August. Limited Spaces available. £130 for PQA Members and £140 for non-members. Excellent sibling discounts!
