There are a number of performances both internal and external throughout the year at LAMDA, many of which are also livestreamed. Our Acting students are supported by our Production and Technical Arts students on these productions as they act as stage managers, lighting and sound designers as well as costume teams and carpenters. These productions are often new works and are directed by working professionals. Find out more by exploring our past productions via our website and news and blog to read about visiting artists and writers.
Performance opportunities extend beyond live theatricial productions. Depending on the course taken there are varying opportunities to create films, new self-created work, develop voice-over acting and benefitting from our Audible Partnership,
