How to watch ABLE alumni, students, and staff during Festival season 2024
We are so proud of our Faculty of Arts, Business, Law and Economics (ABLE) community who shine during Festival season, either on stage or behind the scenes.
We are compiling a guide of upcoming ‘watchABLE’ shows, so you can support the ABLE alumni, students, and staff involved.
If you’re an ABLE graduate, student or staff member who’s involved in a 2024 Festival season production in Adelaide, please email us so we can promote your show!
