I signed up for e-mail updates/early sales etc with roundabout theatre...they're a very active production company and did Violet with Sutton Foster as well as Into The Woods recently and Cabaret with Alan Cumming, which we saw (he was stunning). The tickets ended up at West End prices, worth checkin...

We've recently been through this with DD. I think University drama courses are more theoretical, the study of theatre etc with far less practical skills development. Also, no agent showcase at the end. So from a pure acting perspective a drama school course ( many also provide degree courses) is arg...

There's a play about an older teenage schoolgirl, called Chewing Gum Dreams, or something like that. It's all a monologue so plenty to choose from, the woman who wrote it and initially performed it (it's personal experience) is black and it does include some racial references so perfect for a teenag...

Wooooooo! Fantastic news Katymac, very well done to your DD!

I had acne for much of my life, despite being a doctor I just put up with it. At 40 I realised I wasn't going to grow out of it and went on Roaccutane and it transformed my life, I wish I'd taken it at twenty. It's a strong medication with side effects and not for everyone but I would encourage anyo...

NYT is around £450 for the course and around £450 for accommodation in London if you need it, they will also need to buy food as they self cater. It was a real eye-opener for my 14 year old DD but she loved it! NYMT varies depending on the length of the course but is an eye-watering £1250-1750 to in...

Onwards and upwards Katymac, all the best for the next one

Exciting Katy! What new colleges caught her eye?

I'm not sure but I think the school would be part time for the pupils, not part time for the owner IYSWIM

There's a theatre and education course at Central that could be worth looking at...

Also Lara Chapman has an agency, Urban Kids casting I think, a few girls from our dance school go there and have had CBBC/advert castings. I think Scala has historically been the big one for kids in the area though.

Good luck to your DD Katymac, late auditions sound like a sensible way to make the very most of her foundation course. I remember Amanda's DD did the same last year and it worked
Hoping Millennium managed to get her application this time, after the Xmas post shenanigans!

Well done Pearl's and Yorshire Mum's DDs Fab news

A friend's DD was there last week, I'll see if I can encourage her to post but in the meantime I'll tell you the snippets I heard: I understand the acting was the usual workshop type stuff, being a tree ( not literally but that kind of thing) but no monologues. For the music part they each sang thei...

Sweep, my DD there today too.
Hope all goes well
