'WICKED' THE MUSICAL - YOUNG AUSTRALIAN BROADWAY CHORUS - SEEKING CAST & INSTRUMENTALISTS
Want to be in the Major Youth Production of the Popular Broadway Show?
Auditions Open to Young Performers 15-21 Years
Audition Dates: August 5 & 6
This is an amazing opportunity to experience the intensive rehearsal process that goes into creating a major musical production, as well as the thrill of performing an iconic work like WICKED for a 10 performance run at the National Theatre in St. Kilda.
The rehearsals and performances will take place in the school holidays in December 2017/January 2018 so won't conflict with any of your school drama or musical productions.
All details regarding auditions, rehearsals, performances and commitment can be found in the downloadable WICKED Information Kit.
This is a wonderful opportunity for students to increase their skills working on a large production in a professional theatre.

PARENTING TEENS STUDY
Tired of fighting with your teen? Worried about their behaviour? Sign up now to our free online program for parents of tweens and teens!
Parents want to raise teenagers who are respectful and responsible, happy and confident. But, helping your teen navigate adolescence can be stressful and unpredictable. Researchers at The University of Queensland are excited to offer Australian parents of pre-teens and teens (aged 10-16 years) the opportunity to try a brand new online parenting program for free as part of a research trial. The program is based on the successful Triple P: Positive Parenting Program. We are looking for parents who are experiencing conflict with their teenager or have concerns about their behaviour. You will be asked to complete questionnaires to help test the effects of the program. To find out more or register for the study, visit: https://exp.psy.uq.edu.au/parentingteens/project/online
