WELCOME TO CLASS ACT THEATRE’S WEB PAGE!
Class Act Theatre Incorporated is Western Australia’s
largest unfunded Theatre In Education Company. Now in its 18th year,
Class Act has been successfully
operating as a non-profit co-operative. It relies solely on its
own
resources! The members of Class Act have had years
of experience in this field, and to date the company has produced
over forty original plays (around 6,000 performances)
to almost one million children. Its prime aim is to provide an exciting
and entertaining way of teaching syllabus subjects at schools. It
has been an invaluable aid to many teachers. An important feature
of the company is that it performs in available spaces at schools,
rather than in a fixed venue. Thus it brings theatre at a very reasonable
price to children who might otherwise never be exposed to live drama.
Class Act productions combine relevant contemporary
issues (such as the environment, substance abuse, bullying, depression
and family values), with a sparkling mixture of humour, song and dance.
Even the most sensitive of issues is treated in a way that makes the
productions non-threatening and fun for both children and teachers.
Class Act plays, uses the language of the schoolyard to bring
serious issues to life, making them easily understandable to everyone.
