After the success of Bling, the pantomime at the Barn Theatre on the estate, Audra realised the youngsters she taught really needed their own company where they could grow as performers.
Speaking ahead of the launch, Brixham-born Audra, who made her debut on the West End stage in Bugsy Malone at the age of 11, said: "I can't wait to start up a youth theatre company, taken from local talent, and create something wonderful.
