If you’re looking for a fun and challenging drama class outside of school then the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) is for you. ATYP’s weekly drama classes are broken into two semesters annually and run seven days a week throughout the school terms. All classes are led by dedicated, industry-trained actors and directors who will improve your acting skills in an exciting and encouraging environment.

Acting classes can include acting for stage, acting for screen, comedy, drama, verbatim theatre, self-devised work, audition techniques and many other drama skills. In the second term, you will continue developing these skills as you work with your teaching artist to create an end-of-semester showcase performance.
