Futures



 

This show tells the story of three students as they start their post HSC journeys: a young man, disappointed at failing to make it into professional football unexpectedly finds a career related to his passion; an ambitious medical student copes with the discovery of her pregnancy; and a third graduate who has no direction stumbles across an occupation by chance, forging a successful career.

FUTURES deals with the crossroads most young people encounter after the HSC, legitimising the many different roads we all travel through life, posing the questions: "What lies before me?", "What will I do?", "How do I choose?" and "What if I make the wrong decision????."

2009 is your last opportunity to see this production. It has been in ATOD's repertoire since 2006.





Face Value



 
A series of stories are delivered through the eyes of Deaf teenagers highlighting their experiences of dealing with hearing people who project prejudice and intimidation towards them.

Face Value shows the repercussions of stereotyping and judging people. It aims to highlight the importance of recognising, acknowledging and respecting the variety of customs, cultures and individuals in our world.
