Olivia described her time at Sunderland College as friendly, supportive and interesting.
She recently earned a gold medal in her grade 8 acting exam from the Northern Star Theatre where she also works to develop young performers.
Oliva said: “I’ve loved my time at Sunderland College and the opportunities available to me through studying here. As part of my course, I’ve been part of the production of Evita at the Theatre Royal, so my skills were quickly put into practice.
“Meeting everyone on the course and making new friends has been a highlight and I couldn’t have asked for more from the teaching staff.”
Olivia is now progressing to the University of Sunderland to study Performing Arts
I joined Sunderland College to gain experience to enhance my career prospects, but I never imagined I’d have as many hands-on opportunities as I have.
Performance (Theatre, Voice and Movement)
I’ve had the best time at Sunderland College. There are so many opportunities to practically apply your learning. Through my time at the college I performed in the production of Evita at the Theatre Royal, which was a great opportunity and really brought out my confidence.

I chose to study the BTEC in Performing Arts as I wanted a creative route to studying. I really loved the practical approach the course offered, especially the workshops which gave a real insight into how the industry works for West End actors and dancers.
