OUR STORY APS director Peter Derrick created the acting school as an extension of our sister company SmallFry & DTM Talent Agency, established over 35 years ago. As a successful talent agent with children of his own who were involved in the arts, Peter identified a need to offer a high level of training to actors of all ages with equal focus on both stage and screen. Peter imagined a tiered pathway of acting courses available under the one roof. This pathway, catered to each student’s individual level and age range, would grow and deepen as the actor’s ability grew and deepened. Find your pathway. Come and play with us.
