Creative and Fun Performing Arts for Kids.

At PQA Reading, we strive to give your child the opportunity to take part in fun and creative classes. Our academy is a place where they can make new friends and learn many life skills, all whilst feeling safe and supported as they’re introduced to the amazing world of performing arts. 

As well as creating unique opportunities for them to showcase their work, we also hope to spark an interest in all aspects of the performing arts industry.

Our friendly team of professionals will guide and inspire whichever projects your child chooses to take on, be it musical theatre, comedy, drama or film. We’re passionate about what we do and know that the skills your child picks up on the way – in teamwork, creativity and confidence – will set them up for life.

Suppose you'd like to see for yourself what PQA can offer, why not select your preferred time and book a free session? We are ready and waiting to meet you and get started on this exciting journey together!
