Become a Wellington Young Actor

We have two training options for 12-18 year olds:

Lower Hutt- Mondays 5.15-6.15pm

Wellington City- Wednesdays 5pm-6.30pm

You can just sign up via our form or contact us and turn up.

Sometimes we will have large open sign up sessions but you can join at any time.

Also contact us for training options for younger students at Wonderplay

But... do I have what it takes to join WYA?

You don't need to be the world's best actor to join our group- we just want to use our time with you to see who you are. If you are keen to give something a go, you're keen for new friendships you'll fit right in.

"When joining Wellington Young Actors you become part of a community and also learn so much at the same time. Wellington Young Actors has taught me many essential skills regarding acting such as how to effectively use my body and voice in my performance and techniques to really give my character a sense realism and emotion. It has also taught me how to create my own work which is absolutely imperative in the theatre community in New Zealand. I now know what I need to do to make a show and put it on myself."
