I am always interested in new sites in this field, if you know of any please send me  the details.

• The Actors Centre North-East.  Originally part of the London based network of Actors Centres, The Actors Centre in Newcastle became an independent organization six years ago.
  Since its re-launch, the Centre has striven to provide a focus for the region's professional performers, where they can develop and enhance their skills. Although the North-East has produced many fine actors over the years, and the level of activity in both theatre and media has been considerable, the majority of the region's actors have not been trained in the formal sense.
  In an industry which is changing as fast as today's entertainment industry it is essential that the skills of performers are constantly upgraded, to better serve the requirements of broadcasters and theatre producers.
