Creative, confidence-boosting classes for kids.

At PQA Beverley, we’re dedicated to providing a safe and inclusive space for your child to discover themselves and the exciting world of the performing arts. In a supportive and friendly environment, they’ll gain skills, make friends, and grow in confidence as they explore acting, drama, theatre, and filmmaking.

Our learning approach is designed not only to showcase children's talents but also to deepen their knowledge of the industry. From acting on stage to working behind the camera, there’s something for every budding performer here.

Our team of experienced professionals is eager to guide and inspire each child on their individual path. We’re passionate about what we do, and we know that the lessons they learn with us—whether it’s teamwork, creativity, or self-assurance—will stay with them long after they leave.
