2026 Artists’ Evolution | NIDA/ Bell Shakespeare Drama Program

Following the success of our Voice in Virtue production in 2025 we are thrilled to announce our 2026 partnership with the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) continues with another industry partner; Bell Shakespeare for the development of an original show,

The Shakespeare Project.

This exciting new work will be performed at NIDA from May 6 – 8, 2026.

This landmark collaboration offers a transformative talent development opportunity for our students, who will work alongside the Sydney Catholic Schools Arts Team, Artists in Residence, and industry professionals from NIDA and Bell Shakespeare. Together, they will co-create a dynamic and original show that not only showcases student creativity and performance excellence, but also serves as a valuable educational resource for all Sydney Catholic Schools.

Written by our dedicated staff and students and featuring original compositions with contributions from Bell Shakespeare, The Shakespeare Project promises to be a vibrant and engaging theatrical experience. Once the season concludes, the show will also be made available copyright-free for other Sydney Catholic Schools to perform and use as a teaching resource.
