In case anyone has missed this - The MTA is offering 10 fully funded places to deserving students who would otherwise be unable to attend drama school. In recent years The MTA has twice won The Stage’s “School of the Year” award and has an enviable reputation in the industry for the outstanding voca...

My daughter has a confirmed place at The MTA, a reserve list place at Italia Conti and an offer of an audition for Foundation at ArtsEd. I think she has rejected ArtsEd - wanting to get down to full-on training asap. But we have a conflict: she would rather end up with a BA and be in a bigger potent...

MTA vs Italia Conti? Thoughts please... TIA

DD was delighted to get accepted at the MTA. But she has since found out she’s on the waiting lisa at Italia Conti, which she (not me) prefers. MTA require payment in full (loads!) by 1/5, but she won’t find out about IC until July. Should we risk it...?

Does anyone know what the difference is between the course offered at the London site and the one in Guildford? It’s not at all clear from the website. Is one thought to be better than the other?

My DD did GSA Saturday for 3 years and absolutely loved it.

Is anyone's DC starting on the Post-16 MT course at BRIT in September?

Is that for BRIT, islandsofodor?

I don’t think having a sibling there makes any difference. When is that person going?

Yes, we are in catchment (sorry), as is one of Dd’s Friends, who also has an audition in 10/2. When is your dd’s audition? I have a friend who works there, so I’ll see if I can find out numbers x

Urdang, Bird and Laine seemed to be the most well represented. With ArtsEd, GSA and Mountview all getting a look in.

Good luck at Urdang. Having just watched 42nd Street, half the cast trained there, so it’s got to be a good bet.

Phew! Callback letter came today! Now....Modern or Shakespeare....decisions, decisions!

Congratulations on your call back! We will be anxiously awaiting the post tomorrow then. Fingers crossed.

My DD is currently waiting to hear whether she has a second audition for BRIT. She was impressed (and terrified) by the standard of the talent at the first workshop. 360 kids (of which at least 300 were girls!). As a result of this we have now applied for Laine's 3 year diploma, although I imagine t...
