Welcome to The Brennan Academy's stage school- educating children/teens in Drama, Dance & Singing in Leixlip, Maynooth & Enfield.
The Brennan Academy was established by four sisters Annamarie, Noella, Fiona & Laura. The Academy first opened it's door in Leixlip in September 2008 and due to the huge success and popular demand, opened their second & third schools in Maynooth in January 2009 and Enfield September 2009.
The Aim of the Academy is to give children and young teens the chance to be the next bright new thing – learning a craft for life or just as importantly to become a more confident, more energised and all rounded young person who makes new friends and learns new skills in a fun and exciting environment.
Our sisters and principal tutors Noella and Laura (Professional actors and singers and highly experienced drama tutors) constantly speak of the amazing feeling they get from working with young students. ‘Every class is fresh, new and thrilling with students discovering talents and abilities and others overcoming shyness or a lack of confidence.’
Also part of the Academy is Ronnie McCann who will be a familiar face to many having been a regular in BBC’s Casualty for three years as well as working on EastEnders, The Bill, Doctors, Taggart to mention but a few. He will lead the Acting for Camera workshops.
The Academy also provides an opportunity for students to audition for professional work through the Brennan Academy Agency.
The Academy is here for you and your children, everyone has a creative side it just needs the opportunity to be unleashed, developed and expressed. We look forward to working with you all.
