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.
