In 2016 ECU proudly celebrates its
25th anniversary and WAAPA will play
a prominent role in these festivities.
WAAPA produces the most exhilarating
range of concerts and shows. The various
performances provoke, entice, entertain,
educate and delight – there is truly
something to suit all tastes! I suggest
you give yourself a treat this year and
come along and see for yourself the stars
of tomorrow on stage today. You will be
impressed [as I have been] with the
enthusiasm and professionalism of these
very talented students.
Come, celebrate with us!
The Western Australian Academy of
Performing Arts at Edith Cowan University
is one of the top performing arts academies
in the world.
Each year our students, staff and special
guest artists participate in an amazing
selection of performances – all produced
in-house utilizing the incredible talents of
our production, design and arts
management students and staff.
WAAPA shows represent the best value in
town and by buying tickets you are directly
supporting students.
I hope to see you at a performance in 2016.
