The programme is open to all above the age of 16 and will suit both the novice actor as well as those with considerably more experience.

Feedback from previous participants tells us that the programme provides an excellent preparation for students intending to apply to UK drama schools, Further Education Colleges and Universities as well as giving exposure to the discipline for those participants interested in pursuing a career in acting.

The programme is a highly enjoyable, very intensive, two week course, during which two adapted plays, one classical, one contemporary are studied, rehearsed and then performed in front of an invited audience. Furthermore, participants take part in Voice, Movement, and Group Song workshops, giving an in-house devised performance of each of these disciplines in the final week of the Summer School.

All classes are taught and directed by professional practitioners who have very wide and proven experience in their individual fields. Upon completion, participants are issued with a Certificate of Attendance and a detailed report highlighting their successes and areas in which further study could be undertaken.

Many participants have progressed onto drama schools throughout the UK, including Rose Bruford College.

The College has produced many graduates who have highly successful, professional stage careers (including Edward Bennett who understudied for David Tennant in his role of Hamlet at the RSC), working in such theatres as The Crucible, Sheffield and the Royal National Theatre Studios.
