Our History

It all started…

Our founder, Jill Tucker, built a very successful speech and drama studio in Wagga based mainly on word of mouth. It all began in the early 1990s when Jill’s children became interested in drama. She quickly realised that she didn’t need someone else to teach them what she could teach herself. Those first lessons were held in her loungeroom with only her children and their friends.

Over time, the studio grew to have over 200 students enrolled. We moved from the loungeroom to a purpose built studio at the rear of the property.

In 2014 Jill brought Katie in as second teacher. Several years later a former student (Clare Stirrat) returned as a teacher herself.

In 2020 Jill retired and after a transition period during COVID where Clare Stirrat took over the reigns, Katie officially became the new owner and Studio Director in 2023.

In March 2023 we moved to our current location on Forsyth St, Wagga.
