SUCCESS yet again at Gloucestershire Drama Academy (formerly Stroud Music & Drama Academy).

All students who took London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art examinations last month achieved merits and distinctions when receiving their results this week.

Chas Burns (principal and tutor at the academy) said: "It's truly wonderful that our academy's students gain these results, it's a real boost for their confidence and this only helps garner their ability and technique".

In September the academy will be setting up acting studios in Dursley, Tetbury and Cheltenham on their success over the last five years.

"It's time to branch out to prospective actors in the area that may find it difficult to get to Stroud" said Chas.
