Colette Mitchell

I originally got into acting at the age of 8. I was cast as the main role in the schools play and from then on I have never stopped. I found a group called ‘Theatre Train’ which allowed me to experience the industry of the Arts at a deeper level; I was also given the opportunity to perform at The Palladium in London at a Rhythm and Blues Concert in 2010.

From this point onwards my love for drama and performing just grew and grew. I was then introduced to an AMDRAM company in my hometown called ‘CADS (Corvus Amateur Dramatic Society)’ which I have performed in many shows including the musicals ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ and ‘Return to the Forbidden Planet’. I was also part of the Royston Youth Choir for several years which helped bring me confidence in singing to a public audience. I was also introduced to another AMDRAM company called ‘Hitchin Thespians’ and Hitching Young Thespians’ which I was part of both of these for several years, giving me the opportunity of performing at The Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage, Herts.

Now studying at Theatre at The University of Bedfordshire I followed the passion that I have always had inside me and I wish to further my career in this.
