Get a Head Start on Your Audition
Sundays 11th & 18th October 2026
9.00 am – 11.30 am
Thomas Dixon Centre
$150 – both days | $75 – one day
Planning to audition for NEWSIES? Our two dedicated NEWSIES Masterclasses are designed to help students prepare, build confidence and walk into their audition ready to perform.
Across the two sessions, students will work on:
- Singing and vocal performance
- Dance and movement
- Acting and characterisation
- Audition technique
- Confidence and stage presence
Students will also become familiar with the style, music and world of NEWSIES before audition day, while developing the skills to make strong, confident performance choices.
Cost: $150 – both days (5 hours of specialist musical theatre and audition tuition). $75 – one day.
While attending both days will give students the most benefit, students are welcome to attend for one day only. Choose both days or one day when you enrol below.
The Masterclass is completely optional. Students do not need to attend the Masterclass to enrol in or audition for NEWSIES. Students must be enrolled and paid for NEWSIES before attending auditions.
Would you also like to enrol in the NEWSIES Summer Holiday Musical Theatre Production?
Nine rehearsal and production days | Thomas Dixon Centre | $660 incl. GST
Students will work with our specialist creative team across the extended production program before performing NEWSIES twice in the Talbot Theatre.
