Rows of monochrome headshots line the walls of the reception at Rare Studio's site on Wood Street.
The ECHO is told these are the faces of the successful graduates who learned their trade at the performing arts centre. The breadth of rising Merseyside talent on show is remarkable as there's an author of a number one bestselling book on Amazon, an actor who starred in a Netflix show and a dancer who just finished touring with Years & Years.
The latest Rare Studio success story is Kayleigh Coleman, who starred in the acclaimed Aftersun last year. The talented youngster from Walton told the ECHO she is "still pinching herself" after her silver screen dreams came true when she appeared in the BAFTA nominated film.
