Catch 22

I'm a 24 year old female in Perth trying to break into the musical theatre/performing arts area. Finding it to be a catch 22 auditioning for pro/am productions which seem to end up taking on "qualified" individuals anyway (whether they be a waapa or nida grad)... then auditioning for waapa at the end of the year, when they like to see you've been proactive in participating in these pro/am productions in your personal statement. How does one win?! Anyone else finding it tough?

Yeah, why not help out backstage or something first so they can see how enthusiatic and hardworking you are - and then audition again?

Also if any companies are doing any workshops do them, just to keep your name in their face. Look at it as if you were applying for a job somewhere!

Just an idea?!
