Musical Theatre
We put more importance on performance experience than exam results here at AMT. Whilst syllabus work is important in its own right, the benefits of experiencing non-syllabus classes are invaluable.
We believe that nothing compares to actually getting on stage and learning the craft. Find out about our past productions.
