We welcome students aged 4-18 years based in Ardleigh, Braintree, Brightlingsea, Coggeshall, Clacton-on-Sea, Frinton-on-Sea, Halstead, Harwich, Great Bentley, Lawford, Lexden, Maldon, Marks Tey, Manningtree, Mersea Island, Oakley, Ramsey, Stanway, Sudbury, Tiptree, Wivenhoe and Walton-on-the-Naze with an interest in developing their passion for theatre and performing arts.
Principal note:
In addition to our Academy sessions, PQA Colchester offers holiday workshops, Easter and summer schools, while also providing a wide range of specialist events both locally and nationally.
Our students have participated in various performance opportunities at the Headgate Theatre, Lakeside Theatre and Mercury Theatre in Colchester, as well as having performed alongside 'Popera' group G4 at the Princes Theatre in Clacton-on-Sea. Some students have even been lucky enough to tread the boards at Shaftesbury Theatre in London's West End!
