Graduating Group 2020/2021
The Open Door Graduating Group is made up of participants who started drama school via our initial Acting or Behind the Scenes Access Programme and are in their third year at drama school. Our 2020/2021 Graduating Group were students at RADA, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, Royal Central School of Speech & Drama and ArtsEd.
2020/2021’s Graduating Group enjoyed professional preparation sessions with Open Door, including Q&As with leading agents and creative workshops hosted by guests such as Michael Longhurst (Artistic Director, Donmar Warehouse), Hannah Moulder (producer, I May Destroy You) and Vinay Patel (theatre and television writer).
"Being a part of the Graduating Group has been such a blessing because it has helped to demystify some of the things in the industry." - Graduating Group Participant, 2020/2021
