Recall Audition
If you are successful via the initial audition process, you will be invited to attend an in-person audition. There is no charge for this Recall.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Attendance and Punctuality
All students are required to be available for the entire course. Absence from classes, other than for reasons of illness, is strictly by prior arrangement with the Principal and by completion of an authorised absence form, countersigned by two members of staff. LSMT reserves the right to dismiss any student from the course who has an unsatisfactory attendance record.
Behaviour
Students are expected to behave in a professional manner, whilst on the course. Any behaviour which brings LSMT into disrepute may result in the relevant student being dismissed from the course.
Professional Development
LSMT reserves the right to remove a student from the course should it appear that the required effort and progress is not being made. We are committed to supporting our students throughout their training, and encouraging them to achieve their goals. A decision to remove a student due to non-progression is a very rare occurrence and will only be actioned as a last resort, having given the student every opportunity to improve.
Deposit
LSMT takes a deposit upon the acceptance of an offer to secure an individual’s place on the course. The deposit is non-refundable except under exceptional circumstances, such as for verified medical reasons or unexpected loss of funding. Under these circumstances, if the withdrawal is at least one month prior to the course commencement and we are able to fill the place from our reserve list, the deposit will be refunded.
Refunds
Any student having to leave LSMT during training for verified health reasons, or due to dismissal, will be entitled to a refund of course fees, less the deposit and a proportion of fees equivalent to the training received.
Work Permission
It is strictly forbidden to partake in any professional theatrical production during training without the written consent of the Principal. Students should not attend auditions or seek to find employment during their training. During the final term, the Principal may allow certain students to accept employment or attend certain auditions.
