Hey everyone,

i was looking through all of my information and you may be interested to know that The Entertainment Factory is offering the same qualification as waapa for acting and musical theatre - both advanced diplomas.

ive sent my audition application in and am waiting for my audition time! rather exciting i must say. they start it late march. always another avenue for those who may have missed out on waapa?

www.theentertainmentfactory.com.au if you want to have a look for yourselfs!!

best of luck to ya'll!

That's a great point Jen. WAPPA offer a Musical theatre BA but the entertainment factory offer an Advanced Diploma. They offer the same as WAPPA for acting and dance (one of the quals) also they are not funded although that could change though I hear on the grapevine.

In my opinion they are still an elite training company though. They only except thirty applicants a year (ten in each major) and ten part time students. That's pretty elite considering they streamline their classes. You might only have five people in a class so you get one on one attention- even in the dance classes. Probably a contributing factor to the price I would say. Well that's what I get from C.E.O's little speech ;) .

Look I am make no qualms about being a huge supporter of them- I know their trainers, I have been in their showcase and seen others and have auditioned and been accepted for the 2006 course.

I just had to comment coz you are right on the money. It is a great way to get to where you want to go. I know I intend to ;)
