#TheActorsCentre was founded to offer affordable/accessible actor training/vital community. Its membership/workshop programme sustained 1aTowerSt/made the #TristanBates theatre viable. By erasing training @7DialsPlayhouse has lost purpose/income. chng.it/X6r6DSZWVj

@actoratcentre @7DialsPlayhouse @ChtyCommission No young person “should be held back from reaching their full potential, or from pursuing their interests and dream career, due to their socioeconomic background”. That's why training that's accessible AND affordable is so necessary. @7DialsPlayhouse removed it, a loss to actors.

We ask again @7DialsPlayhouse CEO/Trustees to recognise that rather than making 1aTowerSt more inclusive, they’ve in reality denied Actors affordable training. Actors have testified that without #TheActorsCentre they would not have been able to access training. @ChtyCommission














Two imp @actoratcentre supporter responses to @7DialsPlayhouse’s erasure of #TheActorsCentre - it was unique, loved & vital. Our petition asking for the return of affordable/accessible training is a few signatures shy of 5.5k - stand with us & @EquityUK chng.it/X6r6DSZWVj









The Actors Centre had 2163 sessions for 6870 people in 2016/17. In 2022, during COVID, Amanda Davey & @7DialsPlayhouse claimed "the model had weakened and the relevance of the organisation had significantly waned, along with member engagement and attendance" and axed training.



We had our building to welcome actors/creatives back after Covid, when we were desperate for affordable/accessible training & community. Instead @7DialsPlayhouse destroyed #TheActorsCentre & are selling the lease. Please join us & @EquityUK , sign/share chng.it/X6r6DSZWVj



During Covid we donated to return training, to support our #TheActorsCentre. Only for @7DialsPlayhouse to remove all training, cut ties with @EquityUK & its annual donation. It still wants our support & despite its grand claims, provides us with nothing & is selling the lease.
