Proving once again that the Hayes Theatre Co are dedicated to the cause of endorsing and developing new musical theatre in our country, it was announced this month that the group will be hosting their first Musical Theatre Writing Seminar.

Held on 30 May at the Hayes venue, the seminar will be the first event in the newly announced initiative, titled Hayes Creative. David Mitchell, Max Lambert, Christie Evangelisto and James Millar will join Richard Carroll in leading the first event of the series, which will soon expand into workshops, masterclasses, public talks and further seminars.

The Musical Theatre Writing Seminar will focus on the writing of Musical Theatre and will feature some of Australia’s leading Musical Theatre creators. Sharing their own experiences of creating Musical Theatre, the event will be moderated by Richard Carroll and include a question and answer session with the audience.

Maddi is a performer who has been too scared to stand in the spotlight for the last few years, so she channels her need for love and appreciation into writing about the theatre instead. An energetic consumer of musical theatre, she is currently earning a degree in journalism and teaches voice in her small hometown. Maddi is normally covered in cat fur, has an opinion on everything, and in the words of Lin-Manuel Miranda, is not throwing away her shot.
