What is so good about WAAPA!!!

I am amazed that there is so much debate about the success of one school and its students. Hugh Jackman's success is incredible - but many of his students of 94 are still working actors. Their faces may not be splashed across the international screen but most are treading the boards, working in TV, writing etc. Dominic Purcell (began in class of 94- completed studies later) and is now forging a successful career U.S. Marty Dennis (did not complete the course) is a successful Film writer (Erskinville Kings etc). Wadih works largely in theatre - STC etc. Lisa Baumwal was a regular cast member of TV - Big Sky. Jenny Priest was a regular on TV - Pig's Breakfast. Christie Sistrunk is a regular in TV-Lockie Leonard due to be released. All of these and more have been working since graduating. The school is a brilliant training ground - so if you aspire - go for it! However, there are many who have found alternate paths in schools overseas or within Australia. There is no right way!
