A charity to help disadvantaged young people get bursaries to study performing arts will launch next week.
The Dare to Dream charity, based in north London, is initially looking to raise cash for places at the Susi Earnshaw Theatre School in Barnet but intends to expand to other theatres.
Workshops in the community, schools and children's homes will also be developed.
A musical production will be held at the school on 14 and 15 July to raise funds for the charity.
