A Note From Troy Harrison, Head of International and Accessible Acting Programs at ACA:
After the success of the inaugural Accessible Acting program in 2022 I was ecstatic when I found out we'd be running it again in 2023.
Watching the students grow as both artists and people over the 20 weeks is both a joy and inspiring. I love every moment I get to spend in a room with them all. Ella and I hope you enjoy this showcase as much as we have running it.
