In a recent announcement, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) has confirmed that David Harewood will succeed Kenneth Branagh as the new president. Alongside Harewood, Cynthia Erivo has been appointed as the vice president. This change comes as Branagh steps down after serving as the president of the prestigious British drama school for nine years.
As president and vice president, Harewood and Erivo will immediately assume their positions to support RADA, its faculty, students, and alumni. Their roles as honorary president and vice president involve contributing, advocating, and raising awareness for the school. Both Harewood and Erivo are fitting choices, as they are accomplished actors and RADA alumni.
