   Harper joined PQA Redditch just under 2 years ago with the goal of one day performing on a West End Stage. Thanks to the amazing hard work and dedication of the whole team (and of course the students) Harpers dream came true yesterday at His Majesty’s Theatre. Since joining we have watched Harper grow with confidence, make new friends and really enjoy every aspect that PQA has taught her. It’s not just about the skills, it’s the whole PQA inclusive approach. Sunday 23rd March 2025 was absolutely amazing, the whole cast delivered an incredibly polished performance, PQA Redditch certainly did us all proud. I cried when the curtain lifted, pure overwhelming pride. Thank isn’t enough!

   Redditch PQA have given my daughter the confidence and support she’s needed over the last 3 years. Inspiring teachers and so encouraging to their students. Not only do they learn acting and performing skills, but also the more technical side through filming. My daughter has found her passion for the stage, thank you PQA redditch.

   PQA Redditch have boosted my daughter’s self esteem beyond words. Not only have they offered excellent opportunities in the theatre world, they have created a safe space where young people can feel confident, valued and without judgement. Best decision we made for her over 2 years ago!

   My daughter joined from the start of the Academy in March 2022. She was very nervous to begin with but her confidence has grown massively through the year and she has made some good friends. She seems to enjoy every week and there is a wide variety of different activities. She particularly enjoys the film and TV as well as comedy and drama sessions. At the end of the year she got to perform on stage as part of the Redditch town centre Christmas light switch on and she loved it. I know there's great opportunities down the line involving the West End. I couldn't recommend PQA enough.

   My teenage daughter joined PQA when it opened in March 2022 and has thoroughly enjoyed her first few months at the academy. Ariya, Ben and the whole team are so enthusiastic and welcoming. There have already been several opportunities for the students to showcase their many talents, with many more to come. From past experience some theatre groups seem to have their particular favourites who are always in the limelight , but this is not the case at the PQA Redditch - it's very fair and inclusive.

   Ariya and the team at PQA Redditch are totally in tune with the children they are teaching. They provide a fun, safe environment for children to grow in confidence. My foster daughter has low self esteem yet we have seen a marked difference in her abilities since starting PQA last March. She is gently encouraged to push herself.

   PQA Redditch is fantastic, our son joined in march 2022. He started in poppets as he was 5 and moved up to the next group at 6. He has learnt so much and is able to express himself whilst having fun. Ariya and the team are fantastic and very encouraging. They learn acting, dancing, and behind the scenes.

   My Daughter joined PQA Redditch in March when the academy first opened. From the beginning the team who are so welcoming and friendly, encouraged Rosie to push her abilities and her confidence has grown to amazing heights. Over this last 9 months they have taught Rosie drama, musical theatre and film and television and she has thrived in all aspects returning home with many certificates of her achievements. Ariya, Ben and the team at PQA are dedicated to getting the best out of every child. I would recommend PQA Redditch for any child that has a talent for performing it will change their lives!!
