Student Productions

This year’s productions swing us from a Broadway musical set in 1960s Italy, to a play from Singapore revealing the quiet defiance of creeping authoritarianism, from a Moscow theatre under siege to a Newcastle bookshop mid-robbery. We uncover the legacy of the overlooked woman behind the discovery of DNA, meet the forgotten women who cured smallpox, and step into the fierce rivalry of two queens fighting for one throne. We’re drawn into a live cinema reimagining of Peter Pan, and an operetta where the gods let loose.

Led by acclaimed professional directors, these eight productions showcase the talents of NIDA students across acting, music theatre, design, costume, props and effects, technical theatre, stage management, and set construction technologies.

Join us in celebrating the bold, the urgent, and the unforgettable—brought to life by a new generation of Australian storytellers.

This season is supported by the Nick Enright AM Estate.
