About Limitless Academy of Performing Arts
Educating. Guiding. Inspiring.
Limitless Academy of Performing Arts is a multi-award-winning theatre school where we have been offering exceptional theatrical tuition at an affordable cost since 2017. We firmly believe we offer the best premier part-time drama school experience in all of Hertfordshire.
Highly qualified drama tutors
Our founding members have vast experience and continued success within the industry and are highly qualified. This gives them unique insight and experience that provides a depth of training not usually associated part-time drama schools.
​
We're extremely proud of all of our teaching staff and use more working professionals from the world of Television, Film, Theatre and West End, than any other drama school in Hertfordshire. ​We are incredibly proud of the provenance of every tutor we have at Limitless.

Classes
Here at Limitless Academy we offer a range of classes covering acting, screen acting, dance, and singing in a number of disciplines. Students can choose a combination course where all disciplines are covered, or choose to take a dedicated course where they focus on one single discipline.
​
We have a number of weekend classes for young adults (16-25) and children (11-15), as well as dedicated adult drama courses. So whether you’re looking to act, sing, or dance on film or the stage, you can be sure to find the right course for you.
Award-winning theatre and film productions
Our students regularly perform in high level productions every year. We have over 80 awards for our productions across one act festival plays, short films, and full length musicals performed in theatres across the country. Our students have also won individual best actor awards on local, national and international platforms. This has aided many of our alumni students in gaining places in accredited performing arts and music colleges. Find out more about our past productions.
​
Our in-house talent agency
We operate an internal talent agency and submit our students for professional auditions in association with a well-known London based agent. We ensure our clients are fully trained, nurtured and prepared for casting directors.
Meet the Team
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
Without exception, we have all had successful professional experience, most over many years within the industry, covering every aspect of performance and its delivery. This gives us an enviable ability to be able to share and teach this first hand success, and not just with entry into the industry in mind.
​
Success comes in many guises, not least of all in a personal capacity. We aim to nurture each individual, giving them the ability to see horizons beyond that which even they thought possible. In truth, we aim to make their possibilities Limitless. As a matter of course, all staff are Enhanced DBS checked.
