JH Academy

Our Founder and Principal James Huish has a tremendous amount of experience in Theatre and Youth Theatre. James is a veteran performer himself and a Musical Theatre Director and Producer. James was teaching in many large Theatre Schools in the UK before he eventually opened his own school in the UK which continues to grow.

After moving from London to Northern Ireland James saw a need for a Youth Theatre School here to give children a taste of what it was like to perform in a professional production in a professional environment.

James went on to open a series of schools in many locations around Northern Ireland. Under his artistic direction, the school quickly became the largest youth and children’s theatre school on the island of Ireland.
