  1. ^ Manger 2012 "It is a privately-run and owned drama school with no Government financial assistance or grants from private enterprise."
  2. ^ McLean 2004 "this successful school for actors and filmmakers... She says she caps enrolments in her school … there’s no point taking any more because there aren’t enough jobs to be turning out hundreds of graduates." Also, she says: "This is about art - it is not about making millions of dollars….It is because I have kept this school small…"
  3. ^ Stewart 1995 "The Actors’ Workshop made a decision to pursue quality over quantity, limiting class numbers to a maximum of 14 to ensure sufficient attention for each pupil, and offering specialist workshops in areas such as American accents, audition techniques, monologues and Shakespeare."
