How do you turn a script into a fully realised production? How does that character you love, grow from words on a page into a three-dimensional being? How do actors and directors do what they do?

State Theatre Company South Australia’s Summer and Winter Schools are an exciting opportunity for young people (ages 15-18) to receive practical experience in creating theatre from recognised artists in the industry. An integral part of our State Educate program, Summer School provides excellent preparation for students undertaking drama at a SACE 1 – SACE 2 level or for those looking to further their theatrical skills.

Winter and Summer School applications are open all year.

Quotes from Past Students

“I had such an amazing time … and I am soo thankful I got the opportunity to do it and meet all the amazing people that were involved. This experience has  helped me realise that you dont have to be 100% perfect at everything, you just have to try 100%, learn and have fun.” 

“I really enjoyed improvising and using my imagination. Writing a script and performing in front of everyone was great. I loved meeting new friends, I just loved the whole week.“
