The Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts (PQA) is a weekend performing arts academy. Children and young people can join our Main Academy from 6 years old, and stay with us until they turn 18. They enjoy a varied performing arts training over three hours, including an hour in each of our three classes: Musical Theatre, Comedy & Drama and Film & Television.
