Theatre Studio insists on the best for your child, and we are proud to boast the finest tutors and technical staff in the South West of England.
We insist that all of our senior staff have at least five years teaching experience, and are fully qualified to at least degree level in their fields of expertise. Many of our tutors have also been trained at the countries top drama and dance schools, of which some have had successful careers in professional theatre.

Our Directors
Ann Wessen founded Theatre Studio in 1989, and spent many years creating and perfecting the theatre school that we are so proud of today. Her Daughter,Suzanna Segura, who taught alongside her mother at the school from the very start, has now taken over as Artistic Director whilst Ann enjoys semi-retirement at her home in France.
Ann is still very much a part of Theatre Studio however, and often returns to teach one-off masterclasses as well as directing at many of our Summer School events.
As well as being Artistic Director, Suzanna is the spearhead of our teaching staff - leading classes in Speech, Acting, Improvisation, tap and many others. She looks forward to the challenge of leading Theatre Studio deep into the new Century, with many new classes in the planning as well as new schools throughout the country.
Our Tutors
We are incredibly proud of our tutors! In the capable hands of our extremely skilled staff, your child will receive the very best training possible within an environment built on mutual trust, respect and above all friendliness.
As well as their subject skills,we think its vitally important that all of our staff are fully trained in knowing the differences between teaching adults and teaching young adults and children. It is this which sets Theatre Studio apart from other local and national Theatre Schools, and is why we know that the training your child receives will be among the best available
Our Technical Team
We realise exactly just how important a good technical team is, which is why we insist on the best available. Our technical team come with a wide variety of backstage experience and expertise, which means that all of our shows and presentations look and sound as good as anything you may see in professional theatres around the country.
