Hi, I'm Rebecca and I currently work in Internal Communications at the National Theatre. Before this, I worked in PR across a range of art forms and theatres, looking after venues such as Theatr Clwyd and the Arcola Theatre. Having attended the Theatre Royal Bath Theatre School (TRBTS) at the egg theatre in Bath for ten years I studied English & Spanish at Royal Holloway and am now completing an MA in Critical Theory at King's College. I have been an avid theatre attendee throughout my life, and am eager to help other young people discover the range of careers and opportunities in theatre, especially within the backstage and administration sides of theatre.
