The George Fairfax Committee has raised significant funds to enable the presentation of an award which will assist a VCA alumnus to continue his or her work in theatre.
Director David Symons, who graduated from the VCA in 1993, was the winner of the first $20,000 George Fairfax Theatre Award in 2000. David has directed an extraordinary range of work (from Brecht to Shakespeare and a range of modern works) - something on which the award selection committee commented when choosing him.
Fundraising efforts for this award continue. Anyone wishing to contribute, please contact VCA Development & Public Affairs:
