Griffin Ambassadors

“For me Griffin’s Ambassadors program is an opportunity unmatched by any other company in Sydney, that not only allows me to expose myself to a diverse range of theatrical work without the burden of cost, but has also connected me with artists who inspire me as well as people my age with similar interests and aspirations. What it does better than any other youth-based program, is cultivate discussions and dialogues between talented theatre artists who are successfully working in the industry, and the young people who will one day be contributing to the industry themselves.”  Laura Hopkinson, Griffin Ambassador 2009/2010

Running successfully since 2004, Griffin Ambassadors is an annual access program for year 11 & 12 students.  Offering a unique, in-depth engagement, it makes a significant contribution to the encouragement and education of the next generation of theatre-goers and theatre makers.

Drawn from a range of schools across Sydney and united by a common interest, Griffin Ambassadors attend all Griffin and Griffin Independent productions for free throughout the year, engage with casts and creative teams in post-show forums, explore aspects of theatre craft in special workshops, have the opportunity to perform on the SBW Stables Theatre stage and generally join in with the life and workings of a professional theatre company.

In 2010, Griffin has again selected one hundred year 11 & 12 students to share in the company’s work – all with one thing in common - a passion for theatre.  A selection of our 2010 Ambassadors can be seen above.

Applications for 2010 are now closed.  If you would like to know more about the Griffin Ambassadors program, contact Belinda in the Griffin office on 02 9332 1052 or belinda@griffintheatre.com.au.
