Why did you attend BOA Stage and Screen Production Academy?

I knew I wanted to work in theatre but I didn’t want to be on stage. When watching shows I loved seeing crew backstage and on stage for scene changes and in the box and thought, thats what I want to do. I applied to BOA last minute, lucky to get in during 2023 admissions. And over the past two years I have not regretted applying as I have loved every minute of it and loved truly working in a production team.
