“Overall, couldn’t be happier choosing to take part in the boot camp. It managed to cover such a wide range of skills, knowledge and technique in such a short space of time. I left feeling challenged, inspired and accomplished
thanks so much!”

Hi,
I’ve just recently become a member and having my 15th birthday in October this year, will I be able to participate in this actors boot camp for 15 – 22 year olds??
Kind regards,
Alex Diedler
Sorry Alex, not this year. Why not come to our regular Sunday acting classes instead?
I’m 15 turning 16 in August would this course be appropriate for myself?? Also would there be other people around my age that would enrolled?
Hi Maddie the boot camp tends to have an average age of 19. There will probably be a couple of other people around your age, several 17-22 year olds and a few 23-26 year olds. If you’re serious about challenging yourself and keen to test your mettle, please consider enrolling as you will learn a lot about stage acting and improve your skills. There is no ‘fail’ in this course, and you shouldn’t feel afraid. It’s more about striving for a ‘personal best’.
