Adam Pergande appears in the new Scouting for Girls' music video, for their single 'This Ain't a Love Song'. Adam's currently in his final year here at ALRA, and managed to find time in the hectic schedule to shoot with the band. Click here to watch the video.

2007 Graduate Natalie Britton stars alongside Cillian Murphy and Jim Broadbent in Irish thriller 'Perrier's Bounty', on general release from the 26 March. Click here to view the movie trailer.

ALRA are currently seeking a P.A. to support their Senior Management Team. Expressions of interest and requests for further information should be sent to Adrian Hall [ahall@alra.co.uk]

2009 Graduate Fiston Barek has just been cast as one of the two leads in a new play at the National Theatre. ‘Love the Sinner’ is scheduled for a 3 month run at the Cottesloe in May. Congratulations to Fiston- what a great start to the New Year!

Amy Walsh, another graduate from 2009, got in touch to tell us about her 3 months touring with Hull Truck Theatre Company as an understudy. John Godber was so impressed with her that he wrote a part into his well-known comedy ‘Shakers’ just for Amy!

Amy’s just finished a 6 week run of Shakers in Hull, playing Janice, the Christmas Temp, and clearly loved every minute!

Congratulations to Sam Pay, who’s on stage in the lead role in ‘Travels With My Aunt’ at the Queen's Theatre. Click here to read The Stage's review (and to see Sam in a rather fetching hat). Sam Kordbacheh, who acted with the Queen's Theatre last season, will then join Sam for ‘The Talented Mr Ripley’ in March 2010. Both Sams graduated from ALRA in 2008.

ALRA holds regular Open Days for people interested in taking a closer look at what we do here. The next ones are scheduled for Wednesday 3rd February 2010 & Wednesday 3rd March 2010.

Open Days start at noon with a talk from our Co-Directors, Adrian and Clive, about life at Drama School. We then drop in on some classes, and watch some clips of students' camerawork. If you like, you can stay on for the 2.30pm matinee of one of the 3rd year shows, and we usually find time for a Q & A session with the students just after the show.

Email Sue on info@alra.co.uk to book your place.

ALRA has some sad news to report; we received an email on the 10th December from Adele Ward (nee Walker, also class of 2002):

'Just to let you know that very sadly Dean Michael Julian, who graduated from ALRA in 2002, passed away this morning after surgery to remove a blood clot from close to his brain. He never regained consciousness and the life support machine was withdrawn this morning.'

Adele is keen that the message be passed on to anyone who might have known Dean; if anyone would like to pass on messages of support or sympathy, please email info@alra.co.uk, or message 'ALRA Home' on facebook, and we'll make sure they're passed on to Adele.

A memorial service has been planned here at ALRA on Friday 2nd April (Good Friday, and also Dean's birthday). ALRA is organising it jointly with his family and friends; if you would like to attend, please email Amy on asmith@alra.co.uk.
