Alongside her vast teaching experience, Beth has also managed and been Vice principal at Theatre Schools. Knowing how inaccessible and daunting this industry seemed growing up, Beth promised if she ever got to work professionally she would create a platform to help give FREE tips, advice and insight to aspiring performers (and their parents) and show them behind-the-scenes of what the industry is like – The Performer Journals; Beth now has a following of over 100,000 aspiring performers across tiktok and instagram doing exactly that. IAMPRO reached out to Beth to start the first ever IAMPRO Theatre School franchise, Beth is incredibly excited to bring her first hand industry experience and connections to create a safe space for students to learn, grow, have fun and gain the training, opportunities and support they need (and their parents/guardians need) to help them throughout the industry and throughout their lives! Beth can’t wait to get started and make IAMPRO Derby the best place for young performers and their parents/guardians.
