Emily Baxter was accepted onto her first choice university, after being offered a place to study Technical Production in Stage and Screen at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA).
The 19 year old sailed through the interview process having built up an extensive portfolio of work experience including a one year paid placement at Billingham Forum.
LAMDA is the oldest theatre school in the country and in recent years, over 98% of its stage management and technical theatre graduates have found work in their chosen field within weeks of graduation.
