WHAT IS THE CAST?
our goals
-
We are forging partnerships with major Universities and Drama Schools to ensure graduates don't step off a cliff when they leave training.
-
We are advocating for the person behind the performer. Our future programming moves beyond "craft" to focus on real-world resilience, mental health support, financial wellness and navigating rejection.
We are looking for the right partners, universities, brands and investors, who are ready to disrupt the industry with us.
