From 1984 it was also run by teacher and director Malcolm Cleland, who also ran the Central Junior Television Workshop in Birmingham. The company was funded by Birmingham City Council and West Midlands Arts for the purpose of giving 16- to 23-year-olds from the wider local community access to drama and the theatre arts. Many successful actors and actresses began their careers in the youth theatre, most notably: Andrew Tiernan Adrian Lester Tony Armatrading Lorna Laidlaw, Doctors (2000 TV series) Nicolas Tennant, who has performed with the Royal National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company Joe Dixon (actor) John White (performance historian) Roy Mitchell, creator, scriptwriter and producer of the BBC series New Tricks Richard Thomas, writer of 'Jerry Springer the Opera' Stuart Blackburn, Writer and Series Producer of ITV soap opera Coronation Street Mark Swift, production manager and producer for DreamWorks Animation, California, U.S.A.As of 2009, Derek Nicholls is now the chief executive of Qdos Entertainment plc's HQ Theatres division.Due to problems with funding, the company ceased to exist in 1987.
