'Acting's Class Ceiling' by me rts.org.uk/article/ever...

My brilliant @artsemergency.bsky.social graduate Hosanna is bringing her funny, romantic queer coming-of-age story about two girls and a horny gay dog to The Hope Theatre in September. She's running a @gofundme.com to support it: please help out if you can ❤️🌼🐶 www.gofundme.com/f/dandelions...

Despite coming from a working-class background, our wonderful supporter Julie Hesmondhalgh is one of Britain's most loved actors, today the odds would be stacked against her.

If you've got a spare couple of quid and want to support a good thing, this is one you could consider. Arts Emergency help working-class young people get into arts careers (because opportunities are reliant on who you know, and because funding for arts is being cut so much).

For thousands of young people in London, Greater Manchester and Merseyside, Arts Emergency is the practical solution to the demise of arts subjects in schools, crippling uni fees, 'who you know' recruitment. A monthly donation of £3 a month WILL make a difference!! www.arts-emergency.org/donate

Please read the 🧵 below and consider joining me in supporting this vital organisation. Even a small monthly pledge will help young people from working class and marginalized backgrounds access arts education, networking opportunities and careers. You can change a young artist's life.

Privilege doesn't trickle down on its own. Someone has to actively share it. That's why Arts Emergency exists.

📢 JOB OPP: We're looking for someone who's motivated, committed and resourceful to join the team as our Community Officer! Deadline to apply 27 Apr 2026 Find out more 👉 www.arts-emergency.org/jobs
