Graduates of the Luitingh Alexander Musical Theatre Academy (LAMTA) are increasingly appearing in major musicals and one wonders what the secret of this school’s success could be.
Turns out it is very simple — sweat. And lots of it.
LAMTA’s students work almost every day of the week. They are in class from 8am up until 8pm at times and also have to put in extra hours on weekends when they perform in school shows.
On tough days, they at least have Camps Bay sunset views from the top floor of Theatre On the Bay where the school opened its doors in early 2019.
