Acting & Drama: Act III (Marrickville)

Learn to step into the spotlight with our Acting short course program in Sydney.

Act III brings together all the skills developed in Acts I and II, challenging you to take on the thrill and discipline of performing an entire play. Over 10 weeks, you’ll work as part of an ensemble, developing your character from the first page to the final curtain.

You’ll explore the demands of sustaining a role, mastering vocal, physical, and emotional expression across a full-length production. Working collaboratively with your fellow cast members, you’ll discover the joy of storytelling that entertains, moves, and challenges both you and your audience.
