Now that I have asked about the money...thanks for the replys btw.... does anyone have any suggestions, hits or tips, on getting into WAAPA. I have a fairly impressive CV including SMing a show at Convernt Gardens in London, but other than that does any one have any suggestions on what they are looking for?

Thanks.

with all your experience do you need to go to waapa? It's no good going if you all ready know how to suck eggs. Maybe just and getting out there and knocking on doors for work is the answer?

the sm course at waapa is good if you have a basic understanding and no real knowledge, if you already have the knowledge then it can be very boring.

They look for some general understanding and knowledge and also your personality and how you fit in the mix of other possibles. And whether they think you can get through. In the past ten have been accepted into first year with 2 - 3 graduating at the end of the third year. So it is not easy and particularly in second year requires a fairly large time commitment.
