The ACA Company has unveiled a specially crafted program for high school audiences featuring talented graduates of Actors Centre Australia.

This builds upon the success of the ACA Company’s inaugural 2023 season. Pictured above is a scene from The Laramie Project.  

Adam Moulds, Drama Teacher at the International Grammar School, described it as a moving and thought-provoking night in the theatre. “Your actors, with both your direction and dramaturgy, did a beautiful job telling the story of The Laramie Project. The Drama students here at IGS absolutely loved the show, as did their teacher."
