Guildhall final-year acting students create, write and perform in a series of original performance works spanning stage, film and audio. 

These are our stories, told in our words. 
This is The Making of Us.

Showcasing bold new voices and personal storytelling, The Making of Us offers a compelling glimpse of artists on the cusp of their professional careers. 

Ticket holders for the event on Wednesday 17 June can join us afterwards for Making it Work: Acting – a post-performance talk offering the chance to hear more from the actors.

Part of Making It Festival 2026, Guildhall’s annual celebration of new, original work.
