We create unforgettable theatrical experiences that rival professional productions, gaining authentic performance experience in front of live audiences. It’s more than a show. It’s a launchpad.

The finest training comes straight from the source. Our calendar features regular industry workshops led by top-tier Broadway and West End professionals. Drawing on a network we’re proud of, we bring in artists operating at the very peak of their careers, from technique deep-dives to insider audition insight. Highlights include Isabelle McCalla (Aladdin on Broadway) and Natalie Paris (SIX).

Unlike many theatre schools, we have a sister production company. Through Dog With A Bone Creative Studio, we connect training to industry on projects of scale - including an event with Hollywood star Luke Evans - opening pathways to professional productions and backstage/creative placements with credited experience in a safeguarding-first environment. Our wider network spans Tileyard Recording Studios (King’s Cross, London), West End composer Stuart Brayson, and leading regional theatres, touring producers and creative tech teams - delivering real connections and real outcomes.
We’re also proud partners of ThirteenTen Talent, an inclusive casting agency with 20+ years of expertise. Working closely with our Education & Outreach Officer, ThirteenTen provides exclusive stage, screen and digital opportunities for our students and hosts six free events a year - ensuring access, insight and a clear route from classroom to casting.

Our students don’t just dream big - they achieve it. With expert coaching, professional-standard training and tailored support, we’ve maintained a 100% offer rate for all students who’ve applied to drama school. Graduates have gone on to train at some of the country’s most prestigious conservatoires, including Central, Mountview, Italia Conti, and Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, to name but a few. We nurture talent, build confidence, and open doors to the next stage of their journey.
