Does anyone have any experience with British Theatre Academy?

Are they legit? I've seen something on Facebook offering kids the chance to audition to be in a show they are putting on, it says it is free to audition and free to perform (so no rehearsal fees), looking deeper it looks like it's probably to hook you in to paying for ongoing classes with them, but I'm still a bit dubious. Has anyone come across them before?

Hi all,

We are posting on behalf of The British Theatre Academy, who wish to share the following response:

"We are sorry you had such negative experiences with us and we are certainly not a cult. I think it's a difficult time we are in; at BTA we lead with open and honest feedback, any "name calling" that you describe would have absolutely been done to lighten any situation and jest and perhaps it's something we can think about moving forward for those who are less familiar with our staff. We are never mean, not do we shout, it's just not how we operate and we are sincerely sorry that it felt that way to you. In terms of opinions regarding agencies or colleges we only offer our individual opinions from our personal and professional experiences in order to support and protect our members. All our guidance and teaching style come from a place of passion and honesty. It does not excuse creating negative environments and we will certainly look into your experience and discuss it with the team to ensure similar experiences do not happen again. We have many happy members and continue to blossom at a time where theatre and acceptance is needed more than ever. We are vigilant to mental health and our members well being at all times.

Best Wishes From The Team at BTA"
