MEET THE TEAM

General Manager

Caitlin started working at GAA over ten years ago after being a student herself. Caitlin attended Glasgow Acting Academy from aged 13 where she studied acting and musical theatre. Due to her training and opportunities given to her by GAA she secured a part in "River City" where she played Christina. After two years Caitlin was scouted by the casting director for "Waterloo Road" where she played the part of Lisa.

"Like so many of the students, Glasgow Acting Academy is a home away from home. I am so lucky to be surrounded by an extremely passionate, dedicated staff who give their all to their students. Their creative work speaks for itself, made easy by having the most talented, wonderful young people without whom, our lives would be significantly less joyous. The family like atmosphere of GAA is down to the kindness of our students. Watching our young people grow and develop throughout their years is a privilege I shall always cherish."

Artistic Director

Steve is Artistic Director at Glasgow Acting Academy, where he leads our Senior Acting classes and productions. A fixture of the academy got over 9 years, he is known for his energetic ensemble-based approach, blending physicality and storytelling.

Outside GAA, Steve is a director, facilitator, movement maker and performer, and works freelance in organisations across Scotland. He holds a BA (Hons) in Acting from Motherwell College.

Steve also founded Jump: Physical Theatre, creating a movement based hub in Glasgow, that produces short films and hosts sold-out workshops.

“Theatre should challenge, excite, and move us - and that starts in youth theatre. At GAA, I’m lucky to work with fearless young performers who are always ready to dive in and explore what’s possible.”

Creative Director/Acting Tutor

Madeline is Creative Director at Glasgow Acting Academy, where she leads our Junior and Intermediate Acting classes and productions, as well as our Class of Merit, and has been a core part of the GAA team for over 8 years.

She trained at New College Lanarkshire, graduating in 2016 with a BA (Hons) degree in Acting & Performance, and is represented by Lovett Logan Associates. She has appeared in productions all over Scotland from South Lanarkshire to Skye.

“Watching our students grow in confidence and find their voice - both onstage and off - is the most rewarding part of my job. GAA is such a special place to create in, and I feel incredibly lucky to help shape the next generation of storytellers.”

Creative Administrator

With a lifelong passion for the arts, Georgia has immersed herself in the world of theatre from a young age and now brings a wealth of experience in creative producing, fundraising, and arts administration to GAA.

Georgia is the current President of Glasgow Live Productions SCIO, and Fundraising officer at Acquire SCIO, alongside her freelance work supporting theatres, festivals, and arts organisations across Scotland.
