    hello Richard,
    I am a neighbour of the Old Vic and live down the road a bit and then a bit more. I have a degree and other useless qualifications for a boring desk job, but I would like to break into arts/theatre/creative type employment. Any jobs going ? if not, is there any chance of an open audition leading to something ? - in which case what do you suggest I do on stage (as I have never acted before) apart from when I had to return something at Argos.

    Love M (Ps. give my regards to The Stacey)

    Hi M Ghosh

    I’m 20 years old with a mild learning disability. I have been trying to get professional acting training but there are nowhere i can get proper training in Rainham kent. I can’t follow the normal route of university because the written work is to hard for me, however i did a performing arts course at college but managed a year.

    I’m having singing lessons with a professional singer she has classed me as a soprano but still developing. I love acting and would like somone to help me learn how to act professionally as their are not many opportunites for a person with a learning disability to develop and it would change my life. I would like to become an actress and do it as a job. I’m curently signed up for as an extra and you can look at my profile. It would be fantastic to be given a chance.
