If everything goes well, actors Stephen Rahman Hughes and Datin Seri Tiara Jacquelina will join forces (again) to open an academy of arts in Kuala Lumpur.
"Tiara and I are talking about continuous training for actors in Malaysia," enthuses Stephen. "We want to establish a boutique academy, where master classes could be held for actors.
"We would also like to develop musical theatre in the country."
Seriously, the power duo - who first collaborated on the smash hit musical, Puteri Gunung Ledang in 2006, want to bring the best of New York and London arts scenes to KL.
Relating his own experience in perfecting his craft in London, the passionate British singer/actor/choreographer says, "I've been singing and acting all my life, but I still go to acting classes to better myself."
