PLAY ON STAGE

We are passionate about nurturing the creativity of the next generation of storytellers and providing opportunities for young people to explore their artistry.

ABOUT OUR BRISBANE YOUTH DRAMA STUDIO

Hi, we’re Play on Stage!

Founded by Virag Dombay, Play on Stage is a youth drama studio and production company based in Brisbane that seeks to empower children and teenagers through the arts.

Through our term-based classes, holiday programs, mainhouse productions, workshops, and more, we help young people find their voice and use it with confidence. Our team of friendly, experienced facilitators work hard to create a welcoming environment for Brisbane kids and teens to learn, perform, grow, and create lasting friendships and memories.

We strongly believe that the arts and drama provide young people with the opportunity to discover more about themselves through meaningful self-expression and the power of collaborative storytelling. Young people deserve the chance to shine, and at Play on Stage, they get the chance to do exactly that!

PRODUCTIONS.

We stage mainhouse works which put youth voices at the centre. These productions have something for every member of the family, while showcasing the talents of young Brisbane actors.
