Our story.
The Australian Institute of Theatresports® was founded in 1989 when directors Michael and Angela Sanderson-Green identified a need for creative learning opportunities for people of all ages.
​
AITS created an environment where individuals can learn and grow in a safe but challenging way.
​
We decided to develop on a program that would promote meaningful life skills in a fun learning environment. Directors Angela and Michael Sanderson-Green used their background in Occupational Therapy and Improvised Acting to develop a set of AITS Improvised Acting programs.
​
Our love of drama and belief that everyone can achieve greatness motivated us to design and deliver these programs to young people ranging in spectrums of abilities and cultural backgrounds.
