What is so good about WAAPA!!!

Perth may not have the same reputation as the east, but i have spoken to grads who have been over in syd & Melb and they reckon that the industry is in such dire straits at the moment - and that there is just as much opportunity for acting work in perth !! I have seen heaps of shows that have had waapa grads in perth, both independent and professional company ! As Gilli B wrote: "Here are just some (ie: the ones I know about and can recall at this particular moment) of the WAAPA Musical Theatre (BA) and Theatre graduates who are currently residing in Perth, and in most cases working in the arts in some way or other: Gillian Binks, Sharon Wisniewski, Jeremy Levi, Helen McFarlane, Timothy Schoenmakers, Paul McKay, Ann Adlem, Naomi Hanbury, Morgan Smallbone, Helen Searle, Brendan Hanson, Peter Webb, Paul Peacock, Larissa Gallagher, Rhoda Lopez....." These are just a few of the names that are making the perth scene a more viable and exciting place ! Rock on ! Jezz Work is work is work...wherever you can get it, take it. The perth theatre/film & tv scene is really taking off.
