Top 20 Best Acting in Richmond

“Quirky little theatre has a popular following. Owing to small size it is very cosy and social distancing is difficult.”

“PQA Richmond is simply the best performing school that both my daughters have attended. They have been at PQA Richmond for over five years and have loved every minute of it. Oliver and his team of teachers are outstanding, very attentive, approachable and caring. They create a warm environment where your child is always encouraged and supported in building their confidence to reach their goals. My daughters have had the opportunity to perform in the West End, Richmond theatre, Ham House (Shakespeare in the park), and many other prestigious venues. They have been involved in many musical theatre performances, as well as film making, both in front of the cameras and behind the scenes; directing, editing, make up and set design. The practical application of creative training that goes into creating full productions from start to finish is one that has given immeasurable value and skills to my daughters and all the young actors and film makers there.The school develops their skills in a completely immersive way, which incentivises them to explore technique, take risks and really take charge of their own development as creatives. PQA Richmond is a wonderful community to be part of and my daughters have formed many strong friendships there, as well as developing great performing arts skill. Above all, they have learned that it is all about teamwork, no one role is rated above another, everyone counts and the young actors are incredibly supportive of each other’s successes, this is due to the excellent example set by Oliver and his team of teachers; they are a constant font of inspiration. Thank you for being such stars!”

“Couldn’t recommend Holbrook more highly. Mark and his team offered great insights and helpful advice whilst renewing our mortgage and communicated extremely well throughout. We look forward to working with Holbrook again in the future. Mr & Mrs Slater”

“Really positive experience having purchased our property via James Anderson East Sheen. We were in danger of losing our buyer when our initial purchase (with a different agent) fell through, so we were extremely impressed with the speed and efficiency of Kav at James Anderson. On Friday we first saw the property, saw it again on Saturday, Monday morning we placed an offer and by lunch time it was accepted. This speed and diligence was maintained through to completion. Highly tenacious and reliable - 5 stars”

“So happy to have found MV Academy! Enthusiast and professional teachers.”

“As someone who has worked with young people at an academic level before, I congratulate all teachers at Stegecoach Kew. My son is 11 y and English is his second language. He enjoyed every workshop he attended. Indeed, the Stagecoach Kew became a place my son wanted to go to every day. There are hearty, cheerful workshops and teachers that I can sincerely recommend to every parent, that add enthusiasm to children's lives, and support children's social, academic and most importantly pedagogical development.”

“My girls have been with KAPA for nearly 8 years. Ms Vicky is an amazing dance teacher! Ballet, modern, tap, contemporary, acro.... from the very junior to advance classes. Passionate, professional, cares for the children and really strives for the very best for each child. Qualified also as a Pilate instructor and starting new Pilate classes, I am excited to join and get some benefit from her expertise!”

“I've trained at the Actor's crib for the past few months. I honestly really enjoy these classes; they've really helped with strengthening my techniques, I honestly feel and see a difference. Dan is a fantastic teacher; if you're looking for a no BS, push you to your potential, friendly and warm training space. I HIGHLY recommend.”

“I cannot rate Masquerades highly enough my daughter loves it!! I saw her grow from being a shy little girl to a confident one who just glowed in class. They offer a real mix of singing dancing and acting which is great! 5 stars all round!!!”
