LAMDA Entry Grade

For ENTRY GRADE students will need to present ONE monologue. We have chosen the monologue Whizziwig as the set piece which all students must study.

STEP 1: Book the course. This will give you access to the set monologue, knowledge worksheet and staging video. Please note our course runs January 2025-December 2025 so you will only have access to the materials for this time period. The course cost does not include private tuition or the exam.

COURSE COST (Discount codes are available for Sharpe students and for students of Affiliated Dance & Drama Schools) £100.00 Click here to book

STEP 2: Learn your lines. You must memorise your monologue(s) in order to take an examination. You need to be word perfect!
STEP 3: Learn your staging. You will find the staging video below. You must learn the monologue off by heart and perform this with the set actions (See staging video below). All actions are important so please don't miss anything out. If you would like to book a Private lesson for staging with one of our tutors then please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . Private lessons are open to both Sharpe and Non Sharpe students amd take place in our HQ Studio in Harrow. Students must know their monologue(s) off by heart before booking a lesson. Private lessons are £30.00 for 30 minutes.

STEP 4: Knowledge Questions. Please see the Knowledge Worksheet below for the questions examiners will ask. Knowledge makes up 20% of your final mark so is very important to understand and rehearse. No notes can be taken into the exam rooms so students will need to memorise their answers to each question.

STEP 5: The Examination. Once you are exam ready with your monologue(s) and knowledge, then you can book an examination. Please note if you wish to book an exam through Sharpe Academy you will need to be assessed so you will need to book a private lesson first BEFORE the examination deadline (see dates below).
