Top school’s low pay

Published Thursday 26 January 2012 at 13:00

I feel it is a great shame that the Music Theatre Academy should have been awarded School of the Year in the Stage 100 Awards 2012 (The Stage, January 5, page 19), as it is an organisation that feels it is appropriate to flout UK law on the national minimum wage by advertising jobs in technical/wardrobe/stage management for £150 per week. One such advert for an ASM is currently on StageJobsPro.
