A young performer from Cumbernauld will start the BA (Hons) Musical Theatre course at The MGA Academy of Performing Arts in Edinburgh in September - after being spotted by the Head of Admissions in a college performance.
Zac McGuire, 19, who attended Our Lady's High School and studied HND and NQ Musical Theatre at Glasgow Kelvin College's Easterhouse campus was asked personally to audition for The MGA Academy after putting on an incredible performance as the lead in American Idiot, his college end of course show.
The young performer, who was a goalkeeper for Celtic Boys as a youngster and once had ambitions of becoming a footballer, discovered his passion for acting when he joined Cumbernauld’s local theatre group Shakespeare’s Kids, where he became Assistant Director at the age of 16.
