Molly Holman

I am a professionally trained actor and theatre practitioner with a First-Class Honours degree in Drama with Musical Theatre from The Plymouth Conservatoire. Over the past year, I have worked as a Creative Resident at Theatre Royal Plymouth, developing my practice through facilitation, community engagement, and collaborative theatremaking alongside continued freelance work as a drama and musical theatre practitioner. My experience ranges from leading creative workshops for young people to coaching students preparing for drama school auditions, and I am currently completing a professional development programme that includes a Level 3 Teaching Qualification alongside training in Safeguarding, First Aid, Mental Health First Aid, Advocacy, and Health & Safety.

Adaptable and personable, I work confidently across a variety of settings and thrive in creative, fast-moving environments.
