A little bit of the history…
UKTheatreSchool Performing Arts Academy bridge the gap between drama clubs and further education performing arts establishments. The Principal, Lizanne ( Lambie ) Thomson, noticed a clear gap in the education system to provide the correct training for young people looking to advance in performing arts. UKTheatreSchool Performing Arts Academy opened as an independent Drama and Musical Theatre school within the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama ( RSAMD ) now known as The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland ( RCS ).
Due to the popularity and in turn growth, the school expanded into its own premises. The UKTheatreSchool is ideally situated within the most beautiful Grade B listed building within the vibrant Glasgow City Centre - two minutes walk from Glasgow Central & Queen Street train stations.
