Central is proud to welcome Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art graduates to join our alumni community. The connection between Webber Douglas and Central dates back to 2003 when the DADA scheme for students in Further Education colleges was discontinued, which coincided with the retirement of Webber Principal, Raphael Jago.
In 2006, the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art was absorbed into Central. On 29 November 2012, the 'Royal' title was bestowed on the school by Queen Elizabeth II in recognition of its reputation as a "world-class institution for exceptional professional training in theatre and performance studies."
