THE POOR SCHOOL - AN INTRODUCTION
The school was created in 1986 in response to the need for a first class
acting training which was financially within the reach of all or almost all.
The training lasts two years (six terms) and operates in the evenings and
at weekends until the final two terms when daytime work is involved.
Entrance to the school is by audition and there is competition for
places. To apply for the training beginning October 2010 complete the
application form online.
Most students are in their early twenties, but we have offered places to
many older and, indeed, younger people. No-one should be discouraged from
applying on the grounds of age.
Experience is an advantage in that it may help your performance at audition; we have offered many places to applicants with no
experience.
Thirty-nine students are accepted each October.
