Zach Raffan
ACT, Canberra
Age : 43
Occupation : Freelance Actor/Musician + Brass teacher at 'Music For Canberra' + relief teacher for ACT schools
School of Rock
During school hours, Zach can be found teaching drama and music full-time at Lyneham High School but when the school bell rings, Zachs love of acting and music comes out and he takes to the stage. Some of his most notable acting roles were in Wait Until Dark (Canberra Rep 2017), High Fidelity (Phoenix Players 2015), Magic Flute (Carl Rafferty 2013), and Pool No Water (Everyman Theater 2012).
Although seen rocking out on a guitar during the show, Zach is usually found with a trumpet in his hand, having played in the orchestra for multiple shows. Some of these include Legally Blonde (Free Rain 2014), Into The Woods (Dramatic Productions 2015), Company (Everyman Theater 2015), Sweeney Todd (Dramatic Productions 2017), 42nd Street (Free Rain 2018), and West Side Story (Canberra Theater 2019).
You can catch his dulcet trumpet tones currently in the Canberra Symphony Orchestra, and when he leads his 1920s jazz band, The Zackerbilks.
