In 2010, professional performers Anna Glynn and Robin Colyer came together to form Oxford Academy of Performing Arts, creating a school that offered top quality performing arts tuition in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment. In 2012, they launched Flintlock Theatre; a professional company making exciting, accessible theatre right here in Oxfordshire. 2015 sees the school re-named as Flintlock Theatre School, becoming the official education wing of the theatre company and enabling a close and creative working relationship.
