Children and young people aged 6-18 years are invited to come along on 21st May, from 1:30pm for free, full 3-hour session, giving the opportunity to experience the new afternoon academy. PQA Brighton West’s afternoon academy is an addition to its current successful Saturday morning academy. Both take place at Southwick Community Centre. Led by experienced teachers, potential students get to try Comedy & Drama, Musical Theatre, and PQA’s unique Film & Television module, in groups according to their age. Principal Becca Goffin will warmly welcome children to the taster session, while parents are invited to stay for refreshments and to watch the classes. The PQA team will be on hand to answer any questions, and one lucky attendee will also win a term’s free membership. PQA was started by actress Pauline Quirke and her producer husband Steve Sheen in 2007 with an academy in their local town, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. This very successful venture led to further openings over the years, now totalling just over 195 academies nationwide.
