Dear <~~First~~>,

2007 at NIDA is finishing with a bang. The final productions for the year are seven collaborative works presented by NIDA's graduating directors: contemporary, edgy and innovative, 7 New Exposures 07. Listen to the podcast and enter our ticket giveaway which gives you the chance to win 1 of 20 double passes.

Also getting ready to explode is Open Program's Summer @ NIDA with a huge range of events and activities going on in and around NIDA. For full details of the courses on offer see the NIDA website. Applications are closing soon for NIDA Open Program's successful year-long Singer Dancer Actor course. If you are a 'triple threat' in the making, you have until 20 November to get your application in.

When one year ends another must begin. The first productions for 2008 will definitely get the year off to a good start with two larger-than-life comedies; Goldoni's Servant of Two Masters and Congreve's Love for Love. The hilarity commences on 1 April 2008. While you have your diary open, don't forget to mark down a date with NIDA on 31 May, when NIDA opens its doors for you to experience the onstage and backstage training that takes place every day at NIDA.

It feels much too soon to be wishing you a Merry Christmas, but time flies when you're having fun. We look forward to seeing you at NIDA over summer.
