The theatre’s founder and artistic director, Teresa Early, said Boyega’s role as patron “will be a huge boost for our young members”, adding: “Now there’s an act for them to follow.”
The theatre’s other patrons include actors Sir Ian McKellen, Jenny Agutter and David Harewood, and theatre director Paulette Randall.
John proudly said “So grateful for this position and dedicated to making sure that kids who want to artistically express themselves have that opportunity like I did from the age of 9. This is just mind-blowing!“
