Thames Valley Theatrical Agency (TVTA)

Director: Donna Thomson

Thames Valley Theatrical Agency Choosing an agent to represent LTS students is an important task. TVTA offers an honest service and works hard for each client to secure audition opportunities. It is important for students and their parents to recognise that emphasis on the learning process at LTS is important because being represented by an agent is no guarantee of work.

Students are selected to audition for TVTA in May/ June each year. LTS students registered with the agency are frequently put forward for auditions and are regularly selected for parts in television, film & TV commercials.
