Accredited training

The following courses are delivered in partnership with the Brisbane Academy of Musical Theatre (BAMT):
Each course is full time, providing an intensive year of musical theatre training and networking with some of the best and most prominent people in the business and a year of fantastic theatre experiences that broadens all knowledge and understanding of the entertainment industry.

The two Musical Theatre Courses are the only accredited training programs in Australia housed within a major performing arts venue (Hayward Street Studios), which is also the home of Queensland’s only professional musical theatre company, Harvest Rain. Students are afforded the opportunity to train in the same venue where some of Australia’s biggest musical theatre stars are rehearsing and performing, and the students regularly benefit from a range of formal and informal encounters with these luminaries.

Auditions are currently being held, so be quick if you wish to register. If you live outside of Brisbane, a showreel can also be submitted.
