GRADUATE PRODUCTION OPENS APRIL 3RD

"There'll Always Be An England" - concept by George Ogilvie
Join ACA's Graduating Third Year students as they journey into the great moments from English Theatre in the first half of the Twentieth Century.
Building on the huge success of last year's production of American Dreaming, internationally renowned director, George Ogilvie, returns to guide the company.
An historic theatrical venture takes place, from the Death of Queen Victoria, the drama and comedy of George Bernard Shaw and John Galsworthy, Noel Coward and J. B Priestley's work between the Two World Wars and John Osborne's revolutionary 1956 play ‘Look Back in Anger'.
This will be an evening not to miss and your last opportunity to see the 3rd year students before their final Showcase in June. Tickets selling fast - book now.

Friday 3rd April to Wednesday 8th April at the ACA Theatre.
Tickets available here from MCA-TIX.

HUGH DELIVERS THE OSCARS

As Hugh stood, waiting in the wings, almost 40 million viewers in the US alone were tuned in to see Mr Jackman host the 81st Academy awards on Feb 22nd.
Viewing figures for the show, held at the Kodak Theatre, Hollywood, were up by 13% on the previous year with Hugh receiving rave reviews for the commitment, heart, humour and style he bought to the event.
The New York Times said the show was pacier than previous years as Hugh wowed worldwide audiences in amazing song and dance numbers - stamping his unique style on this, and perhaps future, Oscar presentations.
Congratulations, Hugh!

JOURNEY GRAD PRAISED IN THE REMOVALISTS

ACA Journey graduate Dale March has been starring in the well-received Sydney Theatre Company revival of David Williamson's classic seventies' play.
The Sydney Morning Herald said that director Wayne Blair "has gathered an excellent cast, none finer than Dale March, making his Sydney Theatre Company debut in the play's most difficult part. His comic touches, subtle ambivalences and understated pitch makes a fine foil to Adcock's sly-charmer boss while intensifying the conundrum and fury at the end of the insecure rookie's slow-burning fuse."
Congrats to Dale and all the graduates out there following their passion and commitment to the industry.

RETURN SEASON FOR VICTORIAN BUSHFIRE APPEAL

Once again the graduation company played to sell-out crowds except this time all proceeds from our recent return season of the 2008 production of Reality Bytes were donated to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal.
Donation bins were also passed around at interval as guests enjoyed fine wines donated by our sponsor, Glandore Estate of the Hunter Valley.
The return season's aim was to help make a difference and thanks to everyone's generosity, our aim was realised.
You can still make a donation to the Appeal here.
