The Bridge Theatre Training Company

I’m a current student of the Bridge graduating in July 23. I always wanted to train at drama school but for many reasons I was unable to do so until last year. I immediately warmed to the Bridge when I noticed they accepted mature students so I took the plunge and I’ve never looked back. I can honestly say this has been the best experience of my life.

My time at the Bridge was totally transformational and amazing.
