looks like a great place to learn!

We have been to several performances at LIPA. We enjoyed the musicals best, Rouge, Stop the world, and the Christmas evening. It's a beautiful venue and who wouldn't want to step out of uni and have a cathedral right in front of you. Looking forward to seeing some new shows in 2017

Three years of regular LIPA visits to enjoy Liverpool and in particular to watch student productions that our son John Ellis had contributed to in many different back stage roles.



We loved them all and considered the performances excellent in every way. First class acting performance complemented by wonderful choreography, stage direction, costumes and sets all beautifully wired for sound and light.



Remarkable that so much has been achieved in three years and we are eternally grateful to the LIPA staff who have transformed our son and a whole generation of aspiring performers and technicians into young people very well equiped for the stage and life in general.

This afternoons performance of district 12 was amazing. I've watch all the shows this year. Amazing every one of them.

You definitely saved the best till last. Can't believe they're not professionals.

The next generation of dancers, musicians, actors, designers, technicians and artiste management start here!



Top quality teaching from industry professionals, in world class facilities. There's no wonder that more than 85% of students find regular and sustained work in the industry.



For performers and those who make performance possible.

Thank you for hosting a great open day, very informative, relaxed and all the knowledge required to explore the path forward. Thank You. Stefan Seward with George Seward.

Saw made in Dagenham yesterday evening. Absolutely phenomenal!!! Case, crew, band just fantastic couldn't fault the performance one bit. Big hats off to the guys and girls involved keep at it!!!! The first show I saw here was in about 2000 and was snoopy- my childminder played peppermint patty... she has since starred in auf wiedersehen pet, life on mars, a short stay in Switzerland & the woman in black to name a few. I'm sure some of that cast will do just as good if not better x

Really loved LIPA today - exciting place and love the focus on business skills. Would've maybe liked to see more live performances from alumni and current students but great impression overall.

Really enjoyed todays open day, very informative, gave my son a lot of inspiration. Special thanks to student Nicole for answering a lots of our questions ��xx

On my last day of the Get Set Summer School with Widening Participations and I can honestly say this is the most friendliest and best place I've been to! � learning new things in the acting world and mock auditions! Can't wait to perform tomorrow �

My son is taking songwriting and performance and he is very engaged at tis classes.

Lovely college teachers are amazing students are really lucky to have everything new our daughter loves it show was fantastic too keep up the good work.

Had a great time @ LIPA. Although in hindsight should of involved myself in everything I could. So if you a first year this would be my advice immerse yourself and grow with all disciplines. You will find this involvement crucial once you enter the real world. All the best Gavin Longworth (2000 Management Graduate)

Giselle by the final year dance students was truly amazing. What an incredibly talented group of young people. Powerful and intense - I was captivated from the moment it began 💃🏽

Fantastic and informative open day - big shout out to our tour guides Emma & Olivia (2nd year Dance ambassadors) they were first class - so helpful and great amount of information given by them ....

easy to find - park and fantastic facilities.... definitely a strong contender for our daughter in my eyes xx
