Kids' classes to spark self-confidence.

Here at PQA Wigan, our fantastic team of teachers and assistants are just as dedicated to inspiring, engaging and motivating young people. Whether our young performers wish to gain confidence, make new friends, or pursue a career in the performing arts, our staff help make it all possible in three magical hours per week.

We offer classes in drama, musical theatre, and film, all designed to let young people express themselves, develop skills, and make meaningful connections. With an experienced team guiding them, your child will enjoy exploring the whole world of performing arts. We create opportunities to showcase their work and go deeper into performance skills. Along the way, they’ll gain confidence, build teamwork abilities, and spark their creativity—skills that they’ll carry forward.
