Head of School & Course Director

Sydney Theatre School has been an experience I will never forget. I gained so many skills and it did wonders for my confidence. I met so many life-long friends and it has been the most amazing year of my life.

This year has been a very challenging and positive experience, at all levels, personal, creative and professional….The commitment of all the directors involved is, as far as I am concerned, astounding.

I learnt so much in my short amount of time at Sydney Theatre School. Not only did I gain the knowledge of what is needed to become a professional actor, I also learnt so much about myself. I now have more confidence to go out into the world and follow my acting dream.

I would highly recommend Sydney Theatre School to anyone looking to enter the industry. You have the opportunity to learn from three different directors who each have their own style. I was able to figure out what works best for me and where to go next. A very enjoyable year.

This past year at Sydney Theatre School has been an excellent experience. Being able to work on three different types of productions with three very different directors has increased my skills dramatically as an actor and taught me a lot about the real world of acting.

I believe that you learn more when you are on the job and that is exactly what has happened during my time at Sydney Theatre School. Throughout the year I have been given the opportunity to work with three of the most amazing directors on three amazing plays.

I can’t begin to describe what a fantastic year I have had. It’s been a wonderful experience, and I have gained valuable insight into the industry by working with some of Sydney’s most talented directors. The flexible night time/Saturday classes are fantastic if you choose to study or work in between your shows.

This is a great course for gaining experience in performance…working with three directors gives you a great variety of methods and feedback. I have grown so much as an actor this year with each term teaching me new techniques. I loved every minute, met heaps of great people and learnt a lot.

The Diploma of Theatre Performance is the only part-time acting course that offers REAL opportunities in the industry: working with directing professionals who are challenging and active in, eg; the Darlinghurst and Belvoir Street theatres; performing at venues such as NIDA and the amazing incentive of securing an agent at the end of the year if my work was outstanding.

The year at Sydney Theatre School is one that you would be foolish to pass up. It’s a unique form of educatiion training, providing everything you need to begin a career in the Performing Arts.

This was the perfect course for me. I was able to keep up with my 9-5 job and undertake professional theatre training at the same time. It was demanding but worth every minute of it!

I came into this course wanting to brush up on my skills and network, however upon completion what I left with was much much more valuable.

Sydney Theatre School taught me so much about myself and my capabilities as well as about the practicalities af the acting world. It will open many doors for me in the future and has been an amazing start towards an acting career. Bonding closely with professional directors and fellow students has been a highlight for me.

What a memorable and exciting experience! Sydney Theatre School has opened my eyes to the industry through it’s production-based course.

Sydney Theatre School provides you with fantastic practical experience as well as invaluable information about the industry and the business of being an actor. I highly recommend it for all people considering acting as a career.

The course was good. Very good. It has certainly changed me as a person, and for that I am eternally grateful. The production-based aspect of the course was what drew me to it, and it has made me into a more experienced performer. This wouldn’t have happened if all we’d focused on was technique.

I have learnt so much this year and my confidence has grown. As someone coming back into theatre it was a great course for polishing old skills but also learning new ones and taking things to the next level.

Coming straight out of school, it was fantastic to participate in a course that is not looking for the best UAI. Being in a production-based course was the best way for me to acquire experience.

My time spent at Sydney Theatre School was one of the greatest experiences of my life! I learnt things as a performer I never thought I would have, which helped me immensely throughout the year.

A great opportunity to work with industry professionals in a practical environment. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone that wants to learn about drama and theatre and the skills required to be a professional actor.

STS has been an amazing experience. Being able to graduate with three productions under my belt is great. The directors have been so helpful and inspiring and the lessons learnt have been truly helpful.

This year was the best year of my life. The teachers are amazing, the students are amazing. The school is amazing!

Sydney Theatre School is an amazing introduction to the acting industry. You not only improve your acting skills but are given clear guidance as to the next steps you should take upon graduation.

I have learnt more in this year than I have in any other year of my life, and it will stick with me for the rest of my life as an actor.

I really appreciated my time at Sydney Theatre School. The skills I learnt were invaluable. The course gave me confidence and reinforced the importance and beauty of acting and theatre. The production-based training is the greatest aspect; it made me learn quickly under pressure.

My year at Sydney Theatre School was truly an experience to remember for the rest of my life. I enjoyed learning a great deal about the craft of acting and pushed myself further than I thought imaginable.

Sydney Theatre School has been an amazing experience that has firmly set in place the fundamentals and put me on the right path for a successful acting career. The classes have been varied and comprehensive and there is no better way to apply what we have learnt than having the opprtunity to perform at the end of each term.

Sydney Theatre School is a fantastic course. It really was a year that changed my life. Not only did I get to work with three highly experienced and brilliant directors, but I also got valuable experiences and opportunities. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to enter the industry. Ten out of ten.

From day one at Sydney Theatre School I felt welcome and comfortable. I have had the best year of my life and learned so much not only in terms of my acting and the industry, but with myself. Taking on three completely different productions and working with professional and dedicated directors were experiences I will never forget and will take with me for the rest of my acting career. This course is absolutely perfect for anybody serious about becoming a professional actor.

The thing I loved most about this course was being able to make mistakes, learn to act and give everything a go while at the same time being treated like a professional. It was a fantastic opportunity that allowed me to push my boundaries.

Sydney Theatre School gave me all the tools, techniques and most importantly the experience to enter the acting world confidently with the skills and knowledge I require.

This course has provided me with everything I need to make a start in the acting industry. Not only have I grown and developed as an actor, I have also gained vital knowledge of the industry that will help me in launching my professional career. This course has exceeded my expectations and I have also made friendships that will last a lifetime.

All I have to say is that Sydney Theatre School was not only the best time of my life but it was also the most fun! You learn so much from the directors and the atmosphere makes you want to push your skills to the limit!
