The Rob Guest Endowment is opening a new chapter in its story.
Since its inception in 2009, the Endowment has sought to foster excellence in the music theatre industry. This year the Endowment will launch a new initiative providing training, opportunities and support to aspiring Australian performers with a focus on inclusivity and diversity.
Two free ‘Industry Insights’ workshops will be on offer for aspiring music theatre performers.
Virtual Self-tape Audition Workshop will be held in the evening on April 3 via zoom. Led by some of Australia’s leading creatives and casting directors, this workshop is open to anyone and is completely free for all participants.
Audition Skills Workshop is an in-person full-day workshop to be held in Sydney on June 2 2025 and Melbourne on June 16 2025.
24 applicants will be selected in each city to work with Australia’s top creatives on their performance skills as well as having opportunities to speak to agents, casting directors and leading performers throughout the day.
The Rob Guest Endowment is thrilled to be working with Stage A Change to help deliver the Industry Insights Workshops. For over 7 years, Stage A Change has worked to create, amplify and sustain professional opportunities for artists of colour in Australia and we are excited to align with and welcome their work into this program. We are committed to supporting an Australian musical theatre industry that represents the diverse and wonderful humans of Australia.
