At the end of your first year you will take part in a showcase presentation assessment and an informal audition to be placed into one of two companies during your second year. These auditions lead to a public performance in The Alexandra Theatre, Bognor Regis.

In the second year you will continue to develop your acting, singing and dance in regular classes and be able to choose specialised modules in Stage Management, Technical Theatre and Arts Management, or Producing.

At the end of your second year you will be placed into one of three companies by audition: Musical Theatre Tour, Musical Theatre Commission or Musical Theatre Festival.
