Over the duration of the course, Bravehearts worked with professional actors, directors, musicians, choreographers and technicians. Bravehearts that took part in the 2016 'Much Ado The Musical' program performed a season of the 4 shows in Melbourne, then toured to Sale, Victoria and finally to the Czech Republic and performed at Divadlo Na Pradle, (Na Pradle Theatre Prague). In Prague they took part in an actor's intensive workshop presented by Guy Roberts and Peter Hosking from The Prague Shakespeare Company, and also attended performances at PSC, and Prague Youth Theatre.

The program included over 160 hours of theory, training and performing, and began during the last week of Jan, 2016 and concluded in Czech Republic in late May.
