The school as a training institution has now ended. The last graduates gave the final performance yesterday night.

Had the pleasure of training with @RaffyElliston at drama school @ThePoorSchool. Do go and support her alongside @robbie3martin who will also be performing xitter.cf/jragents/status/976847…
Last week I hosted a talk on our last night at Pentonville Road before we closed as a drama school. There’s still lots for The Poor School charity to do. Watch the video here: youtu.be/N0Blob6v3z0

I was unable to attend last night but want to say a HUGE thank you! I would not of been able afford to go to drama school if it wasn’t for this place, you allowed me to follow my dreams ✨ Thank you for the laughs, tears, hard work, memories. Us working class actors thank you!! xitter.cf/thepoorschool/status/9…
Tonight is our final evening at 242 Pentonville Road. I’ll be giving a short talk and taking questions before we move on to our next chapter as a charity. Visit the website to find out more thepoorschool.com

If you check the website - thepoorschool.com - you will see that the charity itself has not finished at all and I hope you will share my enthusiasm for what we may now achieve.
I hope that the influence of the school continues to grow for the next 50 years or more; this is in the hands of the 800-odd graduates over all the years. I hope they go on to change people who will change the theatre.

Was anyone with me @ThePoorSchool graduating in 1995 please? You may remember me as Jenny Hollingsworth then? Please can you get in touch asap? Many thanks and I hope you're well, Jenny (@JKTanytime)

Bravi! Company of Lady Windermere's Fan, the final production at London's @ThePoorSchool which closed tonight after 32 enjoyable and productive years. The entire company, director and crew did Oscar Wilde proud. I enjoyed it so much. Such a privilege to be with you.
