Stage Critical
Please help us secure RADA’s future and keep the door open to the next generation of talent.
The pandemic has had a devastating impact on RADA’s finances and our ability to deliver world-class training. We urgently need to raise £3.2m over the next four years to recover and rebuild, and to support our students. This campaign is Stage Critical.
