You’re invited to our 2025 Second Years’ Graduation Plays! This year our Sydney Actors School Second Years have been split into two ensembles.

The first play to be performed each evening is ‘Wayside Bride’, directed by Anna Houston. Come along and support our SAS Class of 2025 in their final theatre performance of their training!

Street people and celebrities, cross-cultural lovers and interfaith mavericks - all have been warmly welcomed at Sydney’s Wayside Chapel. Founded by the Reverend Ted and Margaret Noffs, whose passion for the family of humanity was equalled by their love for each other, the Wayside Chapel has married over 50,000 couples. Including playwright Alana Valentine’s own mother.

When Alana discovers the dress that her mother wore to her pre-wedding meeting with Ted, she makes her own vow: to seek out stories of religious rebellion in Australia during the seventies. What unfolds is her excavation of layers of family history, buried under the pressure of conservative religious doctrine, racial segregation and class warfare.
