Hi there, I'm interested to know if anyone - mainly women- only began formal training at any of the main music theatre courses in their 30s. Does anyone know whether people are accepted into many courses at that age, or if there are some courses that are more open to women in their 30s beginning training there? I imagine they would of course say they were open to any age, but realistically, has anyone heard of people being accepted after their 20s? ;-) R.

Hi, im the guy Ben is talking about. I was 32 when i started the BA. I auditioned three years in a row to get into the course. Haven't been on this ITA site for a long time! If you are still reading this topic, im more than happy to answer any qu's if it helps. I'll keep my eye out for a reply. There has also been girls accepted into the course in their late 20s, not sure about 30s though. Just quickly, age is not the only consideration. There are many factors involved in the final decisions on offers being made to individuals. Good Luck! Paul
