The STUDENTS from Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts (PQA) in Stroud dazzled their family and friends with a spectacular performance of ‘The Lazy Ace’ on Sunday, May 28.
The Lazy Ace is a musical comedy set on the glitzy, glamourous Las Vegas Strip during the 1950s.
Detective Chip Buddy is in search of a card shark known as The Lazy Ace amongst the hustle and bustle of the casino scene.
PQA had the freedom to be as imaginative and creative with their part of the show as they like, from the casting, staging and choreography.
As part of PQA’s curriculum, the students get the opportunity to perform at Shaftesbury Theatre London, and experience the thrill of performing on a West End Stage.
The Principal from PQA, Marie Stimson-Machers said: “The students should be so proud of all their hard work leading up to the show.
“Their professionalism, their confidence on stage and how their lines were delivered to perfection resembles the highest West End Stage performer.
“Above all the students had fun and absolutely loved performing to a sell-out crowd.”
With another 17 performances of The Lazy Ace scheduled for this year, PQA students continue to take the West End by storm.
