Laine Theatre Arts
Quick overview
Laine Theatre Arts’ outstanding reputation in the performing arts has been built on its unique identity as a training provider, exceptional employment records, and the company values instilled in its students, which are noted time and time again by employers.

What is our mission?
For over fifty years, training at the College developed under the personal direction of its founder, Miss Betty Laine OBE. Now, in 2025 Laine begins a new chapter as a regulated provider of higher education, building on past achievement to further embrace the challenge of developing young artists as they work to realise their potential in a future where the skills they learn…resourcefulness, adaptability, resilience… are more important than ever.

What makes us special?
Those familiar with Laine Theatre Arts agree unanimously that it is a unique environment. One in which training grows out of an artistic energy embedded in the college’s atmosphere, in the collective pride of its student population and in the fabric of the building itself.
