Campus Life
'There is a great sense of community at ACTT. From the students to the tutors, administration team and support staff, everyone is passionate about creating great contributions to Australia's arts landscape.'
Jill Russ: Professional Actor Graduate 2007
ACTT is housed in two of central Sydney’s most exciting and artistic buildings, the St Laurence Arts Centre and Cleveland St Theatre. They provide you with the creative environment to flourish. In 2007 ACTT commenced running the Cleveland St Theatre (formerly the Performance Space) ten minutes walk away from the main Pitt St campus and it is proving to be an excellent addition to ACTT, giving actors the opportunity to showcase their work in a professional acting space and to work alongside professional companies.

Adjacent to the Admin office is a fully-equipped kitchen for the use of students. There is also a kitchen at Cleveland Street Theatre as well as the outside courtyard, which is also used for occasional student social and BBQ activities. The ACTT Library specialises in scripts for stage and screen and also holds books, videos and other items on a broad range of topics in the performing arts, from costumes to biographies, from Shakespeare to Stanislavski, from set design to Australian performing arts history, all available to students.
CLEVELAND STREET THEATRE CAMPUS
Students at ACTT have the unique opportunity to utilise the professional theatre through graduate productions in both the professional acting program and music theatre. Technical Production students also work on these productions as well as others held in the space. Since 1982 The Old ‘Railway Union Hall’ at 199 Cleveland Street has seen the development of some cutting edge artistic endeavors under the auspices of The Performance Space. Now this magnificent theatre has a new vision for the future development of fringe theatre, in the expert hands of ACTT’s artistic team. With its ideal location, leafy courtyard & bar, this venue accommodates functions of all kinds for ACTT and other groups.
