The Bridge is celebrating 25 years of providing the highest level of professional acting training to people from all backgrounds and walks of life by offering your students a free audition for our professional acting courses. Located in the heart of London’s Camden Town, The Bridge was established in 1993 with an aim to make the highest level of actor training accessible to all, to produce actors from a mix of social and cultural backgrounds and, by doing so, to enrich the theatre, radio, film and television. Here’s what some of our graduates had to say: “I got everything I wanted from The Bridge – professional training, an agent, an opportunity to change my life” “The Bridge is a place for hope and dreams to become reality and we will take that company spirit with us wherever we go” “Taking the professional acting course at The Bridge Theatre Training Company is 100% the best choice I have ever made” “The best training that I have ever received. This is a family forever” You and your students can email [email protected] for details of the course and how to apply.
