We are committed to “Growing Greatness” in every young person we work with. In fact, we are so confident that this is the best Youth Ensemble and drama training program available, that we are the only company in the world to offer a “Growth Guarantee”. Your young person grows or it’s free. That means there is no risk to you! If your young person does not grow through their participation in this program and they’ve participated in every class, then you’ll get your money back. It’s as simple as that.

You get to decide! Most people have a really good idea of what they want from the program from the start. And we bet you do too. It could be that you would like your young person to be more confident. Maybe they are incredibly “out there” already but you’d like to find a way to channel this energy and give them greater focus. Maybe you’d like them to build new friendships, learn new group skills and learn how to think creatively. Maybe you’d just like to see them having a great time. Maybe your child is already a natural performer and you would like to see them given the best possible start in the industry. No matter what your reason for joining us we can guarantee their growth. We bet even your young person’s school doesn’t guarantee that!

During the enrolment process, we work this out with you and your young before we even start in the workshop space. You tell us what you want to achieve through the classes. We tell you how we’re going to achieve it. And then we get started. Along the way it will be a three way communication where we all work together to achieve the outcome.

Our Fast Track Youth Ensemble isn’t for everyone, and that’s ok. However lots of people join our program for different reasons. Confidence and self-belief, building a portfolio of work for a profession career, some even join just to have fun and make new friends. The only prerequisite is that your young person wants to come to join the class. If they want to be working with us, then we want to be working with them.

Our Fast Track Youth Ensemble is broken up into two semester long projects which total 6 months each. They will focus in on a specific genre of theatre and prepare a production for showcase. These performances are normally shown alongside all of our ensembles and are presented festival style across a week. In the course of 1 year they can be expected to be in two productions and perform to public audiences. Our weekly classes run for 1.5 hours and towards the end of the rehearsal process there are always a couple of full day rehearsals in order to be performance ready.

Speak to our Client Concierge directly for a full fee disclosure. It’s important to note that our fees are all costs inclusive. There are no hidden props, staging or costume levies. When you sign up you will sign up for a semester though as it is important to show a commitment to the group and the process. Once roles and casting has been assigned you need to see the process through to the end in order to not cause too much disruption to the creative process. Goat Track Theatre does offer a variety of payment terms which we can talk you through.

You sure can. Not only that, but we are so confident they will have a great time that we will offer you a FREE TRIAL to get started. Again, absolutely no risk to you! If your young person attends the first lesson and decides it is not for them, it will cost you nothing.

Because we believe we have the very best Youth Ensemble for young people out there and that is why we are one of Australia’s biggest and fastest growing ensembles for young people. Our program has been created with input from industry experts and qualified teachers who work with young people AND professionals every day. We’ve been in business for over a decide since 2009 and we have worked with thousands of young people so we know HOW to work with them and also what sorts of things keep them excited and engaged.

We think that’s a really responsible thing to do. Remember: not all drama classes are created equal. Before deciding on your drama school ask them some questions.

A Bachelor of Education or Graduate Diploma in Education is a minimum international qualification. Our Goat Track Theatre Teacher Artists have these as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Theatre. All our staff have Blue Cards of course AND we have a registered Child Protection Policy in place, most “hobbiest” won’t have this and it’s placing your young person in danger.

If so, ask who and what they have done. Our program is not only designed by drama teachers with a combined experience of over 40 years, but also by current ‘practising’ industry professionals. Your young person will be able to say that their teachers are in current shows or working as part of a creative team. Our team are touring artists and perform at international festivals and are called on to train other industry professionals. It’s important to note that just because they are an international theatre actor doesn’t mean they are equipped with working with young people in an appropriate way, hence why we insist on a degree that shows a capability to work with children and young people.

There’s a huge difference! We don’t just guarantee your young person entry – anyone can do that. We guarantee your young person will grow. Taking their enrolment is one thing, probably the easiest part, but we promise to work with you and communicate regularly to provide feedback and updates. This is above all else a TRAINING PROGRAM where your young person will be guided through the creative process and learn performance skills along the way. We always say, you learn more on the journey to the stage than in the performance on opening night

If people are good at it, they can continue to do it for a long time. We’ve been doing it for over 10 years and we’ve been teaching children and young people for well over 40 years. Good news is, we don’t see the finish line either – we plan to be here for a long time doing what we love!

We take our “job” very seriously – it’s not a hobby. AND we love it. Our team of Teacher Artists don’t just turn up to the class for an hour or two and then go home or to another job that pays the bills, they work a full day with follow up in the office devoted to planning, preparing and communicating with our community.

On completion of the production, your young person will have access to the film production, photographic footage as well as a completion certificate showing their involvement.
