Your fees are paid monthly over 12 months of the year, when you join you will pay a deposit equal to one months tuition, this is not refundable. Talking Props trades 37 weeks of the academic year. Eight of these weeks (two in January and six in June/July), we come off of our advertised timetable and switch to what we call 'Production weeks'. These weeks include final show rehearsals, technical and dress rehearsals and the performances themselves.
