Theatre and Actor Training

The Court Theatre offers high quality training to students aged 9 to 30. Our Drama Classes cater to students aged 9 to 17, providing a comprehensive training in the theatre skills we value most: from vocal delivery techniques to physical comedy. At the tertiary level, our part time, one year Theatreworks course provides 18 to 30 year olds with professional-level training and is the perfect preparation for those who intend to audition for a full-time drama institue.
