You at the end of January = inspired by more musical numbers than you can count in a timestep, centred and confident to seize the year with our PAC acting reset, reconnected to YOU and your unique magic.

Our January focus is to create a space where you can release external expectation, where you can reconnect to you, your joy, your magic, your light, while having an EPIC time in the process (no, ai didn’t write this, we’re just really passionate about what we do). It starts with new inputs to spark your passion over our 3 day musical theatre intensive as you are inspired by cast members and creatives from your favourite musicals bringing you the latest inside scoops.

It’s then nurtured with curiosity, connection, creativity, confidence, and fostering of artistic values over our 2 day artist development intensive to empower you in your artistic journey in 2026. Our processes are inspired by graduate drama school and professional international practices and are unlike any other youth program in the country.

A quote to reflect on our 2025 intensive, ahead of our 2026 intensive…

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? …Your playing small does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won’t feel insecure around you…as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.” - Marianne Williamson

… and so our SUN of summer light is created each January at Transit as we let our light shine, and give each other permission to do the same. We are so proud of the beautiful space our community comes together to create every year. And we’re blown away by what you all went on to achieve this year in your artistic journeys.

If you’re new to the PAC family, or thinking about joining us, we can’t wait to meet you.
