Open Door will soon present our 2023/2024 Graduating Group. 

Graduating Group participants are participants who started drama school via our initial Acting or Behind the Scenes Access Programme and are now in their final year of study. This group are now third-year students at Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and Royal Central School for Speech and Drama.

To be part of the Graduating Group, participants must:

• Have gained their drama school place via the Open Door Access Programme

• Be in their final year of studying

The programme provides participants with:

• Free theatre tickets throughout the programme

• Professional preparation workshops

• Mentoring by Open Door Artistic Director David Mumeni

• An industry buddy

• Access to mental health support where needed

• Pastoral support and mentoring from the Open Door team

"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 2020/21
