A theatre auditorium in the park. Drama, education and art — and every seat in the house already yours.
How you take part
A production needs far more people than the ones under the lights. Pick the position that suits you this season — and move whenever you're ready.
Come and be in the room. Watch, help, hand out programs, work the door.
Ensemble work first, lines later, leads when you want them. Nobody is cut.
The trades of the theatre. Real crew roles, taught properly, logged as experience.
Backstage roles connect to ParkSyde's employment pathways work — hours, supervision and a reference at the end of them.
What the room produces
Weekly ensemble for young people and adults, a school-holiday intensive, and two staged works a year. Devised pieces built from local material, so the writing belongs to the people saying it.
Daytime matinees and workshops for home educators and schools, mapped to the Australian Curriculum v9.0 drama strands. Ramp, core and ladder tasks so one session can hold a whole mixed group.
Set, poster, projection and program design. Digital art and print work made for a real opening night with a real deadline — then kept, catalogued and exhibited in the foyer.
