At EPA, our teaching team is built on genuine passion for the performing arts, strong professional experience, and meaningful connections that span years of training, performing, and teaching.

Miss Brooke and Miss Lilly first met in their early teens through their shared love of performing. They spent countless after-school hours together in dance rehearsals and the performing arts department, where they both felt most at home. Their friendship grew through shows, rehearsals and over the years they have supported one another through every stage of their journeys, from watching each other perform on stage to navigating college and drama school in which they both went on to achieve BA (Hons) degrees in Musical Theatre at some of the top drama schools. Both remain active in the industry, ensuring the training they deliver is current, relevant, and rooted in real professional experience. Most recently, Miss Lilly has embarked on a professional cruise contract as lead vocalist, continuing to expand her performance career alongside teaching.

Adding to this strong creative team is Miss Anna, whose own professional experience spans both stage and screen. Miss Anna trained in Musical Theatre and has worked within the TV industry, including time spent on productions such as Coronation Street. Alongside her performance career as a professional singer and member of a band, she also works as a drama teacher in the week and is trained up to Grade 8 with the associated board, as well as being LAMDA trained.

Miss Anna’s connection with the team goes back even further, as she previously taught Miss Brooke during her early training. Now, the opportunity to work together as colleagues brings their journey full circle and highlights the supportive, inspiring environment that EPA strives to create.

Having teachers who continue to work professionally within the industry is invaluable for our students. It means real, up-to-date industry knowledge, honest guidance, and first-hand experience of auditions, contracts, and performance life.

Together, Miss Brooke, Miss Lilly, and Miss Anna are proud to be part of EPA’s growing community, inspiring and preparing the next generation of performers.
