Drew described his time at Sunderland College as confidence-building, supportive and practical.
Drew’s career ambitions are to work in Musical Theatre in the West End. Speaking about his time at Sunderland College, he said:
“I’ve had the best time at Sunderland College. There are so many opportunities to practically apply your learning. Through my time at the college I performed in the production of Evita at the Theatre Royal, which was a great opportunity and really brought out my confidence.
“I love, love, love the staff. Jonathan, Lauren and Victoria are amazing people.”
Drew is now progressing to the University of Cumbria to study Musical Theatre.
I joined Sunderland College to gain experience to enhance my career prospects, but I never imagined I’d have as many hands-on opportunities as I have.
Performance (Theatre, Voice and Movement)
I chose to study the BTEC in Performing Arts as I wanted a creative route to studying. I really loved the practical approach the course offered, especially the workshops which gave a real insight into how the industry works for West End actors and dancers.
