Casting & Auditions

Be seen on the stage and screen

Adelaide Theatre Academy has valuable contacts in the television, theatre and music industry and over the years, we have found work for hundreds of our enthusiastic young performers!

Many talented Theatre Bugs and Adelaide Theatre Academy students of all ages (the youngest being a newborn baby and the eldest being a ‘Theatre Bugs’ Dad) have gained work through us in t.v, film, catalogues and stage musicals/plays.

WINDMILL THEATRE COMPANY

 

Little Board

The Board of a company is a group of individuals appointed to oversee the organization’s activities and represent the interests of its shareholders. As a company making work for young people, we thought it timely to give them a seat the table.

 The Little Board is a group of smart, creative and powerful young people who, in weekly sessions from the Windmill office, explore art and theatre making, how productions come together, and how to consider art as activism, guided by Windmill staff, artists, creatives and the Big Board (henceforth named).

 This is a totally free, weekly, unique extracurricular activity for young people looking for something a bit different. Those who love to be creative and explore new ways of thinking and making.

 Sessions will run every Thursday from 4.30 – 6pm (excludes last week of term and school holidays) from our offices on Level 2/39, Light Square, Adelaide SA 5000.

 Open to South Australian residents from Year Levels 5-10. For more information and to apply please head to https://www.windmill.org.au/education/littleboard/
