Hi, my name is Ashley and I am thrilled to be the Principal of Cutting Edge Theatre Academy, as well as the Founder and Creative Director over at Cutting Edge Theatre Company. My passion is performing as well as inspiring the next generation of performers, which is why I wanted to launch our bespoke academy offering exciting classes and opportunities for young and inspiring artists in the region. We very much look forward to welcoming you on this exciting new journey.

WHY CHOOSE US?

We may not have a
'big' name associated to us or a
huge head office to offer support or even a big pot
of money like other franchises, but we have just as much
passion, drive and creative flow (if not more) than our competitors.

​

We pride ourselves on being small and independent, meaning we can focus on what matters most - our students AND we aim to continue
to make our classes accessible for everyone.

​

As we continue to grow and develop, we hope to be able to offer a wider range of classes, so make sure you follow our social
pages for all the latest updates.

​

Thank you for all your support!

"The workshop was fantastic. All the children were involved and loved every minute. Ashley worked closely with us to ensure that the workshop would meet the needs of our youngest learners in school and everyone had a great time."

"The children were so excited to work with Cutting Edge Theatre Company. They loved working with Ashley and he engaged them all from the moment they walked into the hall to the very end of the workshop. Everyone was able to participate fully and it was so wonderful to see each pupil grow in confidence throughout the activities! Thank you so much! We will definitely be working with Cutting Edge Theatre again."

"The workshop was incredibly well organised and resourced and ran smoothly from start to finish. Every child had the opportunity to develop their confidence and teamwork whilst exploring different character traits of famous Roald Dahl characters. The workbooks provided were a great resource and pupils were keen to continue work into the afternoon following the workshop in the morning. Ashley worked brilliantly with the class and supported pupils of all abilities and confidence levels to engage fully with the games and activities. Thank you!"
