Bristol Old Vic Theatre School

Bristol Old Vic Theatre School is a leading conservatoire drama school training students for careers in theatre, film and tv, and radio drama production: of the 160 students, half are training in production, the other half as actors.

The School has a strong commitment to active participation in Stage Sight and to building a diverse workforce in the arts and entertainment industry. We have made substantial inroads into diversity within our acting student cohorts (over 30% BAME) but, as in the wider industry, our backstage courses fall well below this figure. The School is actively working with theatre makers in the South West to change this.
