About Us

The Bridge is a non-profit making organisation which provides actor training of the highest calibre at an affordable price. We believe that actors should be drawn from all sections of society and we encourage people of all classes, races and nationalities to train. We believe that a mix of social and cultural backgrounds enriches the training that students receive and the theatre itself. Applications are welcomed from mature as well as younger students. The minimum age is 18.

We not only offer a practical, professional acting training but also a comprehensive approach to gaining employment in the industry and long term support for actors after they leave the course.

Staff

The tutors of The Bridge are professional actors, directors, performers, musicians and choreographers who believe in making a high level of training accessible to a wide range of people. This is why only the basic cost of the training is charged to students.
