Ex-ALRA from the mid-1980s plan festive reunion

Members of our alumni have formed a Facebook group for ALRA alumni and staff from the mid-1980s - i.e. ALRA's first years at The Royal Victoria Patriotic Building.

Although only recently formed, the group already has over 150 members. They are also planning a Festive Reunion event in London on Wednesday, 28th December. To join the group and find out more information about the event, simply search for 'Where Are They Now? (Ex-ALRA)' on Facebook and send a join request.

We wish Andrew the best of luck for his performance.

Denise Gough headshotOlivier Award-winner and ALRA graduate, Denise Gough has achieved further recognition from LondonTheatre.co.uk for her role as Emma in People, Places and Things which has been ranked as the number one play of 2016.

Dom O'Hanlon, editor of LondonTheatre.co.uk said:

"Outstandingly directed by Jeremy Herrin, this remains the most powerful performance I have seen all year, and a true collision of a knock-out cast and creative team".

Well deserved Denise, congratulations.
