Many of our students go on to undertake actor training at drama school and find UYA to be the perfect place to develop their skills. Others become a member to build their confidence, learn new skills and get experience performing on stage or in front of a camera. Whatever your motivation, all we’re looking for is passion. Passion to imagine, to play, to be part of an ensemble. UYA has been the start of so many lifelong friendships with previous students going on to form theatre companies and work together in the industry, or taking the transferable skills they’ve learnt into completely different careers.
Most importantly, our workshops are fun and accessible to young people with all levels of experience.
“The experience I’ve gained from UYA has also allowed me to start pursuing a career in the acting industry and I could not be where I am now without them.”
– Grace Ford (East 15)

“I came to Urban not knowing anything about acting. Without Urban, there is no way I would’ve been able to make a dent in the industry.”
– Owen Warner (‘Romeo’ in Hollyoaks)
