What Happens if I am offered a place in a cast.
If you are successful and offered a part within the cast, we will send you further information about the performance, Class Act Drama Centre, the centre’s membership details and registration forms to complete and consider should you wish to accept your place. If you have not been successful on this occasion we may offer you a part in an alternative group, or retain your details for further castings that we are working on.

Subscriptions include weekly training in a class, tuition, rehearsal, room hire & access to script materials. Full details will be supplied to all successful candidates under no obligation. Shows & casting are at directors discretion
Funding for scholarships
