Success Stories

Ellie Paskell

Ellie Paskell attended the Carol Godby Theatre Workshop from age 11 up until moving to London at the age of 18. Ellie attended dance and drama classes as well as coming to some summer schools. She took part in pantomimes and pop shows during her time here and also won the Best Female Actor award in the annual festival of plays 2 years running.

Ellie had never had any professional experience before attending the workshop and gained her earliest television roles through Carol on programmes such as Children’s Ward, Blood Strangers, Burn It and Holby City. Ellie left for London at the age of 18 to further her education at an accredited drama school and is now playing the role of Maxine Barlow in popular drama Waterloo Road.
