Courses at VCA Drama in acting, theatre and drama are open to the general public through our Short Courses program. We cater for all skill levels - if you are starting out with a dream of being an actor, or if you have an audition for Drama School coming up and need to brush up your technique, or if you are a professional looking to upgrade your skills - a huge range is available from year-long, part time courses to week or weekend intensives and school holiday programs.
