ABOUT MOUNTVIEW

Excellence, Access and Innovation in dramatic training are at the heart of our work. Since 1945, we have trained the very best performers, directors, theatre production artists and producers. We are committed to ensuring our community of over 500 students is representative and that drama training is accessible to all.

Opened in 2018, our home in Peckham was conceived in partnership with Southwark Council as a truly 21st-century drama school and a creative arts hub for all. Our state-of-the-art facilities include the 200-seat Mountview Theatre (made possible by a £1m donation from Sir Cameron Mackintosh), the 80-seat Backstage Theatre, 21 acting/dance studios, TV and radio suites and production workshops. In recognition of their extraordinary work in establishing Mountview’s new home and for their commitment to promoting inclusivity, Joint Chief Executives Stephen Jameson and Sarah Preece were presented with Olivier Awards in 2020.

Shortlisted for the RIBA London Regional Awards and Stage Awards Theatre Building of the Year, our new home is not only a vital resource for our students, but also an emerging centre of excellence for accessibility in the arts. Our fully accessible building is home to leading disability arts practitioners Candoco Dance Company amongst a number of other resident professional companies.

Today’s students will join a constellation of graduates making their mark on the profession. Actor Noah Thomas (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), Actor/Writer Amy Trigg (winner, inaugural Women’s Prize for Playwriting 2020), Olivier Award-winning Actor/Writer Giles Terera MBE (Hamilton) and Michael Longhurst, Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse are just a few of our notable alumni.

This theatre was made possible by an extraordinary gift from Sir Cameron Mackintosh and the Mackintosh Foundation. Cameron’s generosity enabled the completion of this theatre, where generations of MOUNTVIEW Mountview students will develop their craft. We are profoundly grateful for his championship and support and are proud to honour his commitment to the future of theatre.

‘Mountview was the only school willing to give someone like me a chance. I was going through the homeless system when I applied and I thought going to drama school was going to be an impossible mission, but then Mountview offered me a place and a full scholarship - it changed my life. Knowing the Judi Dench Fund will help future students in my position is amazing.’
