All it takes to get involved is for you to fill in a sign up form. You’ll then receive one of our mailouts, with details of upcoming productions and auditions. If you find something you’re interested in, call the office on 9479 1198, and we’ll sign you up for an audition or, if you prefer the non-acting side of things, take your details and assign you a crew role.

We try our best to assign roles to anyone who wants them, but don't despair if you miss out the first time (it just means too many people tried out), because the next production will be coming along soon after.

Also, don't forget that outside of festival times one of the functions of this office is to provide support for student-driven events. We offer assistance, but it’s up to you to come into the office with suggestions or submissions for new productions. We'll provide your show with a budget and a venue, and then leave it mainly up to you to do it how you think it should be done (but we'll always be there for advice and support).
