Set up by the Theatre Royal Haymarket in 1998 to give young people the chance to learn from and be inspired by leading artists from theatre, film and TV, the hugely successful Masterclass programme has now welcomed over 50,000 people aged 17-30.
With a year-round programme of free talks, workshops, special projects and career advice sessions, Masterclass is a unique charity providing exceptional creative opportunities for young people interested in all aspects of theatre from acting and directing to writing and producing.
The impressive list of over 180 past masters includes: Helen Mirren, Nicholas Hytner, Kwame Kwei-Armah, Deborah Warner, Patricia Hodge, Alan Ayckbourn and Derek Jacobi. All have shared their knowledge, enthusiasm and expertise with young people as part of Masterclass at the Haymarket.
Masterclass is a registered charity and exists through the kind support of the Theatre Royal Haymarket, individual donors and sponsors including Freixenet and Beachdean Dairies.
