Production Details
Stage School Australia's school holiday productions are designed to replicate the structure, and scale of a professional musical theatre experience.
Students rehearse with professional creatives to learn upbeat songs, choreography and hilarious scenes, then bring it all to the big stage in a full-scale production with sets, props, exciting costumes, and a live audience!
This is a unique opportunity for young performers to collaborate, develop their performance skills in a fast-paced rehearsal environment, and spend the school holidays fully immersed in creativity alongside like-minded peers.
