A performing arts home for young people across the Western Plains.
Dream Big. Belong. Shine.
Western Plains Performing Arts exists to give young people across Dubbo and the Western Plains access to high quality performing arts learning, productions and opportunities, without having to leave their community to find them.
Our weekly classes will be held at the Dubbo RSL Theatre, giving young performers a welcoming, professional home to learn and grow in the heart of Dubbo.
WPPA began with a simple belief: talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.
Young people in regional communities deserve regular opportunities to develop their skills in acting, singing, movement and stagecraft, to work with inspiring teachers and industry professionals, and to experience the excitement of creating and performing together.
We are a community governed, not for profit performing arts organisation. Our focus is not simply on putting on shows. Weekly learning sits at the heart of what we do, with productions providing young performers with authentic opportunities to apply their skills, collaborate, grow in confidence and experience the joy of performance.
Our vision is a Western Plains community where young people can discover confidence, creativity and belonging through exceptional performing arts opportunities.
“Inclusion first, excellence always.”
Our working promise
What we stand for
Inclusion first
Every young person who wants to perform has a place here, regardless of background, experience, identity or ability.
Excellence always
Professional standards in teaching, design and production — because young people in the regions deserve the real thing.
Regional opportunity
We build locally so young people do not have to leave home to find a stage, a mentor or a creative community.
Child-safe by design
Working with Children Checks, child-safe standards and open doors for families underpin everything we do.
