Stage set for city's virtual drama and theatre convention

STAR: Newcastle-born comedian Rhys Nicholson will feature in City of Newcastle Drama Association's StageCon, which runs until August 16.

COVID-19 may have put a stop on live events, but it hasn't stopped City of Newcastle Drama Association's second annual drama and theatre convention completely.

StageCon will be entirely virtual this year, featuring Q&A sessions with well-known ex-Novocastrians as well as workshops run via Zoom.

The event runs until August 16 and is set to feature the likes of comedian Rhys Nicholson, actor Jessie Lancaster and recent NIDA graduate Tom Rodgers.

"With our online format, we're providing the performing arts community with direct access to a wide array of leading industry professionals, all from the comfort and safety of their own home," CONDA President, Rachelle Schmidt Adnum said.

The workshops will cover topics including singing, acting and physical theatre masterclasses; breathing techniques for performers; HSC Drama guides; and health and wellbeing.
