Every actor at HAYA is offered a place on our agency books. This is purely optional and does not affect or impact upon the training and enjoyment of the workshops should you decide not to join.

Actors who join the agency will be seen regularly for professional work in Film, TV, commercials and theatre through castings and auditions with some of the industry’s leading casting directors.

My daughter started at HAYA during the first lockdown when it provided a creative haven from the pandemic. It was the first time she was able to explore acting for camera (rather than musical theatre). Being rather industry-naive, we were initially concerned about signing up to the agency and booking jobs but we needn’t have worried as Sarah was supportive, attentive and informative throughout the audition and filming. We have been continually impressed with how she always has the child’s best interests at heart! Thanks HAYA!
