Dear <~~First~~>,

School holidays find the NIDA corridors buzzing with chatter and activity – some 400 children and young adults arrive to discover the delights of drama in all its many forms. Perhaps you are warming up to the idea of doing something dramatic this year, but aren’t quite sure what?

Come and visit us at NIDA Open Day, Saturday 31 May, 2008. Once every two years NIDA opens its doors for all to see and experience what NIDA has to offer. NIDA Open Day is an entertaining and informative way for prospective students, families, the public and members of the arts industry and media, to gain insight into studying at NIDA – whether it be a full-time course, short or part-time course, or a corporate communications course you are interested in.  

As a prelude to Open Day, sneak a peek at our podcast this month - it may just fuel your desire to share your passion for the performing arts with us. We certainly hope to see you performing, directing, model-box making, designing and doing all things dramatic at NIDA.
