New Musicals Australia is an initiative dedicated to the production of original music theatre in Australia. We aim to provide support for emerging musical theatre creators by presenting a number of workshopping opportunities to assist in the development of original work. The program focuses on providing writers and composers with the opportunity to have their scripts and songs workshopped by professionals and presented to high level industry peers, creative industry leaders and general audience members. New Musicals Australia also supports a variety of other initiatives targeted at developing new works, establishing networks and providing support for independent writers. Century Venues in collaboration with the Australia Council have founded this initiative and turned over its existing venues and infrastructure in order to invest in the future of Australian musicals, to help build the foundations of the shows that audiences will one day see on the Australian stages of tomorrow.
