Dynamic Drama Classes for Children.

At PQA Harlow, we are dedicated to nurturing young talent in a welcoming and professional environment. Students work in state-of-the-art facilities at the Harlow Playhouse, including specialised studios, rehearsal rooms, and both a 120-seat thrust theatre and a 440-seat main auditorium, giving them the chance to experience a variety of performance settings.

Our academy is all about hands-on learning, with students developing their skills in Comedy & Drama, Musical Theatre, and Film & Television through exciting projects and performances. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, our students gain valuable experience and confidence, creating work that they can be proud of.
