Running with Scissors

The Out of Hours Theatre Company of Adelaide High School
A co-curricular initiative – an Arts Enterprise for the gifted, the talented and the just plain desperately enthusiastic. A place to go for those who would rather be writing, rehearsing and performing a play than doing anything else in their spare time. Running with Scissors has two primary functions
• To teach the skills related to the craf

t of acting
• To develop new works of drama. To that end, Running with Scissors is
• Primarily an actor’s company. But with positions for Production support staff in Administration, Stage Management and Technical Production. It is devoted to teaching the skills in voice, movement and acting craft in a way and at a level which is [understandably] not possible in the course of general classroom teaching.
• It is for those students who have a commitment to the Performing Arts that goes beyond simple interest, and who has already demonstrated that fact both in, and outside the classroom.
• It is an ensemble, so group skills are as important as talent. Running with Scissors is open to students from Yr. 8 to Yr11. Entry is via audition only. Auditions for actors and interviews for Production positions are held every year in the first weeks of Term 2. Applications for audition will be called for late Term 1. Running with Scissors trains twice a week from 3.30 – 5.30pm Tuesday and Thursday in Studio North.
