Our Story
š Meet Annie & Joanna ā The Heart of Jesters Theatre Academy! š
Jesters was born out of pure passion for Musical Theatre and a dream to create something truly special. Founded by best friends and professionally trained actresses Annie & Joanna, both have spent their lives performingāfrom the West End to TV & film. Annie is also a trained dancer, while Joanna is an award-winning Voiceover Artist.
The idea for Jesters came from a shared frustrationātheatre schools that felt too big, too expensive, and too impersonal. They wanted to build a place where every child gets the attention, encouragement, and stage time they deserve.
ā From 7 students in one venue to hundreds across 2 towns, Jesters has grown into a fun, crazy, friendly, and imaginative community. Annie & Joanna believe that EVERY child deserves the chance to shineāwhether they dream of a career in performing arts or just want to have fun and build confidence.
š« Donāt Dream It. Do It! š«
“We would love to welcome you into our Jesters family!”
Love, Annie & Joanna ā¤ļø
