The Making of Us: Final-Year Actors' Self-Led Performances

These are our stories, told in our words.  

This is The Making of Us.

Guildhall's dynamic final-year actors present a vibrant programme of brand-new performance works, created and performed entirely on their own terms.

Featuring original pieces made by the actors for stage and screen, The Making of Us is an eclectic celebration of the unique perspectives of a group of artists at the threshold of their professional careers.

Ticket holders for the event at 6.30pm on Wednesday 25 June can join us for Making It Work: Acting - a post-performance talk offering the chance to hear more from the actors.

Part of Making It Festival 2025 – an annual celebration of new, original work created by Guildhall students.

Age guidance: 18+
