Young Australian Broadway Chorus

In 1995, the company established four theatre ensembles with a strong musical theatre focus. In 1999, these groups expanded to become what is now known officially as the Young Australian Broadway Chorus (YABC), the stream which trains students in singing, dancing and acting.

The YABC's first performance was held in 1999 at the National Theatre in St Kilda - a gala performance much simpler than the more extravagant shows that are put on in the same theatre by YABC students today.^[2]

As of 2022, YABC classes are held in 4 locations across Brisbane.

Australian Youth Theatre

The Australian Youth Theatre (AYT) is the drama branch of Stage School's performing arts training activities which originally traded in the 1980s as the Victorian Children's Theatre. While trading as the Victorian Children's Theatre, the course focused largely on improvised drama, but eventually the curriculum was expanded to include script work and acting for the camera.^[3]

As of 2022, AYT classes are held in 4 locations across Brisbane.

Beginners OnStage
