Dear <~~First~~>,
Welcome to the final edition of Box Seat for 2008. We hope you have had the opportunity to experience NIDA during the year, whether you visited us on Open Day, participated in one of our short or part time courses, attended one of our information evenings or came to see a production at the Parade Theatres.
We look forward to welcoming you at a NIDA event in 2009, our 50th anniversary year. Celebrations commence with NIDA Open Program's all ages production A Midsummer Night's Dream, tickets now available through Ticketek.
Start the new year dramatically by enrolling in a summer short course or studio at NIDA. Not living in Sydney? Short courses are touring Melbourne, Brisbane, Byron Bay and Canberra this January. Gift vouchers are available for all our summer short courses and make perfect Christmas gifts.
Seasons greeting from all of us at NIDA and best wishes for 2009. We look forward to seeing you at NIDA this summer!
