Success Stories

Ben Thompson

Ben attended The Carol Godby Theatre Workshop for 5 years from 11-16 years old. He first came to try out one class with Carol and enjoyed it so much he ended up joining full time. Ben was in the same Saturday group as Sam Aston for the majority of his time here and he took part in cabarets and festivals of plays. He also did his work experience alongside Carol.

Ben had already had some professional success before attending the workshop appearing in children’s television programme Stupid and in the film Re-Inventing Eddie. However, it was through his involvement with Carol that Ben progressed further in his career and secured the role of Ryan Connor in Coronation Street.
