Marian Street Theatre for Young People

Marian Street Theatre for Young People inspires creative expression and teaches skills in theatre to young people. Established over 45 years ago, the school offers drama for ages 5 to adults in a professional theatre company environment as well as children's performances.

Our children's performances are contemporary and classic stories that entertain 3 year olds through to 103 year olds! They include audience participation and songs. The stories range from Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen to well-know authors of today like Richard Tulloch and David Wood.

What is so unique about our children's productions is the special connection our audience has with our performers. The performers are talented young people drawn from our drama clas

CLASSES
We present weekly classes and holiday workshops on the North Shore in Gordon, Killara, Lindfield and Chatswood.

In the classes student focus on developing skills and knowledge including voice, movement, improvisation, script work, characterisation and much more. Beginners and advanced classes available.

AUDITIONS FOR THE CHILDREN'S THEATRE PRODUCTIONS

We invite students over 12 years to audition for our Children's Theatre productions. We have two or three children's productions each year, often based on classic fairy tales (like The Pied Piper or The Little Mermaid) or more contemporary stories (like Danny in the Toy Box by Richard Tulloch).

This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for young people to experience working in a professional theatre environment led by experienced industry professionals. Often students who work on these productions go on to work in the theatre industry in a variety of roles, from acting to directing, to technical and backstage.

Students are given audition dates by their tutors throughout the year.

TUTORS

Our tutors are qualified industry professionals and experienced teachers who introduce students to physicality and vocality, improvisation and text work.
