'Late Shakes' - a season of performances created by the BOA Year 12 Acting students of William Shakespeare’s later plays. From a post-apocalyptic ‘Measure for Measure’, through a David Bowie inspired ‘The Tempest’ on Wednesday 11th July, ending on a Kardashian-meets-Coalition ‘Antony and Cleopatra' and a selection of student directed dystopian performances on Thursday 12th July. Abridged, but not diluted; expect frenetic physical theatre, blistering characterisation as the language and worlds created by Shakespeare are dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. 11th & 12th July @ The Old Rep

BOA TV introducing newest chat show and you are invited to be part of a live studio audience! Quizzes & challenges, short film premieres, live music and much more! Tickets only £5 from https://bit.ly/2Kiot3C

Very well equipped and modern facilities to work with along with an exceptional and dedicated teaching faculty. BOA has provided me with not only skills, but many brilliant opportunities to help develop myself in my professional capacity and prepare me for the real world.

The school that got me into vocational training at the Urdang academy

Molly is having a great time.

Learnt more than I could ever imagine here. Helped me achieve all my dreams. Take me back!!

Just an amazing place!

I was on the dance course 2012-2014. Boa is the place to be! This school allowed me to get on to all my desired dance degree courses and I was lucky enough to meet some amazing and enthusiastic people who are now my closest friends, along the way. The staff have all worked in the industry and share their personal experiences with their pupils to prepare them for their future career. I recommend this academy to anyone who aspires to be successful in not only the performing arts sector, but also the digital arts.

I came to see Sister Act at the Old Rep. Its the second show by BOA I have seen

Saw Witches of Eastwick two years ago. BOA you excelled again. It was a fantastic show and the young lady that played Delores was exceptional. All the cast were amazing.

Following her dreams and flying

Excellent school

Came to see the year 10 MT end of year show. Wow it was amazing.

Came to see my daughters’ brother dance last night in the year 13 production ‘once’. It was absolutely amazing! My twin girls were amazed at not only seeing their big brother Nathaniel but at the costumes and choreography. They were on the front row and kept up with the storyline. Fabulous evening out seeing so much talent in one place. So proud of his achievements and those of the young stars last evening. Well done to everyone

BOA is such a special and unique place. The students are very talented and professional when working with industry professionals. The buzz and vibe from being at or with anyone from BOA is infectious.
