NUTS Alumni
NUTS has been alive and kicking since 1985, providing a wealth of resources for artistically inquisitive people who are itching and hungry to explore theatre making practice. Our not so little society has seen numerous members come and go, and some of them have continued discovering careers within the Arts and Entertainment industry.
This list predominately follows past NUTS directors, as our archives do not often list cast or other crew. Finding members outside those listed as directors is currently being investigated.
It is important to note that NUTS has had numerous members be accepted into theatre and film training schools over the years, for courses in acting, writing, directing, technical production and design, at institutions including WAAPA, ACA, VCA, NIDA and AFTRS.
