BA(Hons) Drama and Production class of 2024
Caitlin McNee
Caitlin is a 21 year old who was born and raised in the central belt of Scotland where she currently resides.
Having grown up doing dance classes she took up acting at age 12 and never looked back.
After doing drama classes at Vivace Theatre School while still at school, she decided to go on to study Acting and Performance at Ayrshire College where she secured her HNC and HND.
She then decided to go and get her BA(Hons) degree from University of the Highlands and Islands where she is currently in her fourth year.
In the future Caitlin's dream is to teach drama to children and hopes that the skills which she has learned from her degree can help her with this.

Charlie Porter
If all the world is a stage, then Charlie is the over-worked stage manager.
Hailing from Ayrshire, Scotland, Charlie spent his youth in the care system, unsure of where to go with his life, but knowing that he was destined for great averageness. Not long after exiting care, he decided that averageness could get stuffed, and applied for NC Acting & Performance instead. After a long road of trials and tribulations, he found himself in his final year of university, completing a BA (Hons) in Drama & Production, and is raring to graduate this Autumn. He hopes to work as an Applied Drama practitioner with disadvantaged youth.
His work, much like his life, is played with and created by ‘the cheek’ and the ‘utter audacity’, tiptoeing a fine line between humour and disaster, and he enjoys playing with audience expectations, whirling them away to the chaos of mundanity, interjecting difficult topics with high doses of the absurd and the strange. He invites you, dear audience, to live a little bit of life together with him, and thanks you for your time.

Holly Mills
Holly Mills is a 21 year old lesbian and feminist.
She spends her free time playing video games, watching movies with her friends, writing recreationally, and decorating her room with pink and glitter.
Much of her teen-hood was spent acting and singing for events and exams, one of which career path’s she has now pursued to completion, with this final module and performance.
She would say her true inspirations for every piece she makes are Barbie and Elle Woods because: ‘Barbie said I could be anything when I was a kid, and Elle Woods showed me I could be anything as an adult.’
