 Since 2006 Poetry In Action’s humble Sydney origins, founders Hazem Shammas and Bryce Youngman have spearheaded PIA’s staggering growth into one of Australia’s premier touring theatre companies. We bring poetry to life to students through the art of theatre and we have inspired over 600,000 students to date throughout Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the UAE! We bring our curriculum-supporting performances to both high schools and primary schools, and we are offering our comprehensive Professional Learning program to teachers across Australia.
Whilst Covid-19 has certainly been a challenge for many arts organisations, Poetry In Action has bounced back to support your students with both Live and Digital Performances for 2022!
