✨MEET THE TEAM✨
We are thrilled to have Ted as VP and Comedy & Drama lead!

🎭 Theatre Practitioner | Actor | Educator
From creature performing in Amazon Prime’s The Rings of Power to teaching at De Montfort University, Ted's career is built on a love for storytelling.
"I've had the privilege of working with leading spaces like Curve Theatre, Nottingham Playhouse, and Performers College, guiding young performers to find their creative voices. For me, teaching is all about curiosity and play—creating safe spaces where students can take risks and build resilience through drama and comedy."

Let’s build confidence through rehearsal, collaboration, and discovery. ✨

✨ Meet our Principal! ✨
From a "painfully shy" child to a professional Actor, award-winning Producer, and Principal here at PQA, my journey has always been about the power of performance. 🎭
I believe in helping every young person find their unique voice through play and exploration. Beyond the Academy, I lead the Acting degree at Leicester College and De Montfort University, ensuring I bring the latest industry insights directly to our students. 🎓
At PQA, we don’t just teach acting; we build bravery. My goal is to create a safe, creative space where students can take risks, collaborate, and thrive.
💛 Shaping the next generation, one rehearsal at a time.
