A bit about me:

I’m Sam, an emerging actor-singer from Newcastle, and I’ve recently been offered an opportunity I once could only dream of.

I’ve been accepted onto a Musical Theatre training course (MA) at Mountview Academy in London… it’s only one of the most renowned drama schools in the UK, (no biggie!!!)

Sadly, the tuition fees for Mountview are not fully covered by a postgraduate student loan. My total gap in tuition fees is approx £7000. This fundraiser exists to help bridge the gap with the remainder coming from scholarships, bursaries, savings and every other possible avenue .


Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a genuine difference.


Flexible ticket options:

General Admission - £5

Pay what you feel - minimum £5 suggested


Come along, have a gay old time and support a good cause!

Don't miss out on the good vibes and great company. See you there!


If you can't attend but would still like to donate, check out my GoFundMe page here

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a genuine difference.
