Children must be 9 years old by the 1st July of the year in which they start. Teenagers must be 14 years old by the 1st July of the year in which they start. Usually teenagers drop out at year 11.
Currently around $200 per child per year. This low cost is due to the large input from volunteers. If a child drops out in the first 6 weeks, the money is refunded. The fee, along with the ticket money from the production, goes towards costs of theatre hire, scenery storage, costumes, sets, props, scripts, postage, etc.
The waiting list varies from year to year. Sometimes we take everyone on the list, sometimes up to 20 have had to wait for the following year. To book in, simply phone Ed (numbers above in letterhead) with details of your child. In January you will receive a formal application form. Once those forms are all in, places are offered. Offers are strictly in order of original booking (first come, first served). However preference is given to families who already have a child in the group.
