For many young people there are significant barriers to accessing a career in the arts, which is why we created Front Line. 

Front Line offers young people paid Front of House placements to develop their employability, with a focus on those not in education, training or employment. Participants are also mentored by members of The Old Vic’s team and take part in workshops to develop CV writing and interview skills.  

Front Line is one of our longest-running and most successful projects. 

‘Front Line has inspired me to be more confident in my capabilities and not be afraid of failing. To challenge myself and to network better socially and professionally’
