SCHOLARSHIPS
Rock of Ages Workshop & Show
ESSA is excited to be giving away 5 free scholarships to our up and coming Rock of Ages (Youth Edition), which will be held from Monday12th - Friday16th August 2024. We are also offering part-scholarships where families can apply for a 50% reduction in the workshop fees, making the workshop £80 which can be paid in instalments upon arrangement with the principal. Winners of the full scholarships will be announced on or around 26/7/2024, and we have 15 part-scholarship placements. Part-scholarships are awarded on a first come, first served basis, so book now to avoid disappointment.
Could you be our leading lady Sherrie? A small town girl with a strong voice and an even stronger right hook. Or perhaps our main man Drew? A city boy with a big heart and big dreams to match. Register now to join the picket line and save the legendary Dupree Room from demolition!
