National Youth Theatre Company - ok?
Mon, 14 June 2010, 05:55 pmCan anyone comment on the value of the National Youth Theatre Company's program for young people? A family member (who is a recent theatre studies graduate) has been accepted into the company, but the fee is almost $1000, which seems a fair bit for a 3 hour training/rehearsal session per week. The fee is payable in full up front, which also seems a little stiff. The staff of the company seem professional etc., but their web site contains very little information about the company. I'm interested in any comments, positive or cautionary :)
This looks like someone

This looks like someone trying to start another theatre school. My advice: If someone wants training, then go and get it, but if you have already graduated from a three year theatre degree then this looks like a load of hogwash and you need to go out there and create your own work, or find others to co-op with. That is what Australian theatre is - creation of small co-op productions to keep the skills alive.
