WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
Doing something you’ve never done before can be scary, whether its standing in front of an audience, or having your performance scored. Trailblazers face all kinds of self-doubt on a daily basis. But what helps them overcome their fears and achieve greatness? Training and support.
That's why we're inviting all SMS participants to a series of events - sessions to help you find your feet, get comfortable with new faces, and learn from experienced actors. The production team will be there at all events to clarify any questions you may have.
Don’t worry, we won’t be doing cheesy icebreakers. Everything you’ll experience at our events are designed to help you in practical ways to build your confidence and prepare for your performance.
