Re: Accommodation
Don't MST organise sharers days? I know many of the London drama schools do. My DD met people on the sharers day tat she ended up sharing with for the whole 3 years.

Re: Stage article - too many drama school places
In my DD's class at CSSD there were 9 girls and 8 boys. But the boys have had more success getting work as there is just a lots more stuff for them to go for. I think one of the main problems is highlighted in the comments on the original article - this is also happening at a time when there is a co...

Re: Stage article - too many drama school places
I agree - the market is contracting, but there are increasing numbers of talented, trained actors chasing too few jobs :( Very tough getting jobs after training ends. This is referred to in training but not the harsh realities spelt out [-X [-X I like the way she does not mince her words, and the co...

Re: London school of musical theatre
I know someone whose DD did this course (she used to post on here a few years ago). She loved it and has been in full time work on cruise ships since she finished.

Re: Foundation courses
My DD graduated from Central last year and no one in her year had done a foundation course. I do think they useful in giving youngsters a taste of what vocational training is like. However, it is very expensive and could never have been an option for us.
