RADA - Student View

Acting, stage management and technical courses all very demanding and the hours are long. But then RADA training is possibly the best in the world. Because of this, very large numbers apply each year; selection is by audition or interview.

Links to the profession are excellent - guest designers and directors work on all final year productions. Agents and casting directors keep a watchful eye over final year acting students, while second year stage managers spend half a term on secondment, working with professionals. Life is not cheap.
