Kate Burton and Matthew Rhys support RWCMD’s New York showcase
Kate Burton and Matthew Rhys were among the audience welcoming the Royal Welsh College back to New York as it presented its showcase earlier this week, staged at an Off-Broadway theatre, after a two year break due to Covid.
Perfformiodd graddedigion actio a theatr gerddorol diweddar o America a Chanada gerbron Kate Burton, sydd wedi’i henwebu am wobrau Emmy a Tony, ac enillydd gwobr Emmy Matthew Rhys, y ddau yn Gymrodyr brwd CBCDC. Roedd gwesteion eraill yn cynnwys asiantau, cyfarwyddwyr castio, rheolwyr a ffrindiau allweddol a dylanwadwyr y Coleg.
Mae’r perfformwyr sydd ar y llwyfan yn enghraifft o amrywiaeth a sgiliau’r rheini rydym yn eu hyfforddi, ac yn cynrychioli ehangder ac ystod ryngwladol rhaglen CBCDC.’
Cynhaliwyd y Stondin yn Theatr Signature, Efrog Newydd.
Detholiad o uchafbwyntiau diweddar graddedigion actio CBCDC: mae Isobel Thom, a raddiodd eleni, ar hyn o bryd yn cael adolygiadau gwych am ei rôl eponymaidd yn I, Joan yn Theatr y Globe.

'It’s a privilege to be able to bring our students work to Signature Theatre and to share their talent with the US artistic community.
The RWCMD Showcase is always a highlight in the industry calendar in the UK, and one of the best attended in the sector. This year saw 100% interest from agents for our students.'Jonathan Munby
