⭐ Announcement 1 of 15 ⭐

Introducing Emerging Talent Theatre Productions for young performers aged 5–9 years! 🌟

Our Emerging Talent Performers will train weekly on Thursdays at Abstract Performing Arts Centre and will have the opportunity to perform twice each year:

🎭 A fully licensed and professionally staged 'KIDS' production (the younger-performer version of licensed JR shows)

🌟 An exciting in-house showcase created especially for our Emerging Talent performers

Emerging Talent Theatre Productions has been designed to bridge the gap between our weekly musical theatre classes and the pre-professional, auditioned company of Talent Theatre Productions.

💫 There is no audition required to join, Emerging Talent Theatre Productions is open to everyone. All company members will perform in ensemble roles, and those who wish to be considered for Main Cast roles will have the opportunity to audition within of their weekly training.

📅 Current Abstract students will be able to secure their place from 2nd July through the Abstract Re-Enrolment process.

📢 Remaining places will be opened to the public from 3rd July.

To pre-register your interest before public enrolment opens, please email [email protected] and we will contact performers in chronological order. 📧

We are incredibly excited to bring licensed 'KIDS' musicals and productions to younger performers in our local community! ❤️🎭

🚨 We expect this opportunity to be extremely popular, so be sure to book as early as possible to avoid disappointment! 🚨

🌟🎭✨
