Students, former students and friends of RWCMD. It has come to our attention that RWCMD are attempting to cut costs in the drama department by axing theatre history, therefore making Dr Michael Read redundant.
If you feel as strongly against this as we do then please sign this petition which will be sent to the principal and all relevant persons at the college.
Thank you, Samuel Bees.
The administration remains silent despite the concerns we have raised about the department. It is exhausting work to keep pushing against this wall but the stories you share about the value of these classes keep me focused on the goal.

Reaching this level of support has been a heavy experience that makes the exhaustion feel worth it. It is clear now that people truly value the tradition we are fighting to protect at the college. I am tired but I am definitely not stopping now.

How will students understand the craft without knowing where it came from? This is such a short sighted move by the college.

Really disappointed in the college for this. The history modules were the best part of my degree.

Dr Read is the reason I passed my course. You cant just cut history like its nothing. It is the foundation of everything we do here.
