Our Primary Players Theatre Program is an audtion free program especially designed for children aged 8 to 12 years of age. Students will have FUN while they learn and develop acting skills, gain confidence and perform on stage in a full-length play. We foster a POSITIVE environment where each child can create in a safe-space.

The program begins with 10 weeks of theatre training classes during the school term. Then concludes with students performing shows during the school holidays.

All students will be given individual lines of dialogue to help build thier confidence and skills. There are roles suitable for all ages and experience levels; no previous acting experience required. Participants perform a play (not a musical), no singing or dancing is required.
