Championing Excellence, Education and Diversity In The Sector

Mountview, Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation, and LW Theatres share a commitment to removing barriers to careers in the arts. We believe a person’s circumstances should never prevent them from reaching their potential. This new partnership builds on Mountview’s long-standing relationship with Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation, who support scholarships in musical theatre and the Ptaszysnki Producer initiative at Mountview. With LW Theatres’ support, we can now widen access for the next generation of technical production talent even further.
