BEHIND THE SCENES
We invite parents and supporters of Studio Q to join us for a free Studio Q presentation in our final week of Term 2. Each of our courses share a short 5 – 10 minute “Behind the Scenes” series of activities or scenes, providing an insight into their creativity and the skills they’ve been developing through theatre training. The event is included as part of the standard student course fees and is a wonderful day for our teams to come together. We hope you can join us!
