Rebecca Collier (16), from Elloughton, East Yorkshire, is living the dream after winning a full scholarship to study Musical Theatre at the Hammond in Chester; a nationally recognised centre of excellence for dance and a leading provider of vocational musical theatre, drama and music training. Rebecca was up against hundreds of young hopefuls, both from the U.K and abroad, ranging from 16 – 20 years old.
Rebecca attended the first round of auditions in November 2017, whilst studying for her GCSEs at South Hunsley School in Melton, East Yorkshire. She impressed the school's faculty at every stage of the audition process and, after multiple rounds of auditions against hundreds of other applicants, was offered a place on the three year Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre. Rebecca was then invited to compete for the limited scholarships available to the school's most talented students and was fortunate to be awarded a full Dance and Drama Award (DADA).
