Help Launch A New Aussie Work
After two successful staged readings in Melbourne and Mildura, Marshall & Marrows, in partnership with Salty Theatre, are now raising funds to workshop Clancy of the Outback – A Musical Adventure in a professional setting.
Our Sponsors: Jan Thompson from Murray River Salt, Michelle Dugdale, and Rhys Dugdale.
Why Support?
This family-friendly musical adventure tells a universal story of home, acceptance and identity through a uniquely Aussie lens. We’re raising funds to workshop this musical in a professional setting.
This fundraiser is being run in conjunction with our Melbourne and Mildura readings. Clancy of the Outback – A Musical Adventure, tells a universal story of home, acceptance and identity through a uniquely Aussie lens. 1200 kilometres from his old home, 12-year-old Clancy is thrown into the unpredictability of country life with his Mum and the bright, colourful inhabitants of The Overflow. From a pesky paddock bomb to a baby kangaroo, a fearsome flood to a feral frenzy, Clancy will have to deal with all of the outback’s challenges to find his place in the world.
Why We’re Raising Funds: Victoria does not currently have a professional program dedicated to developing and showcasing new musical theatre. Salty Theatre is working to change that. We are seeking support to present a workshop of Clancy of the Outback, a joyful new Australian family musical that celebrates our culture and way of life.
Who It Will Impact:
– Artists and creatives: Paid opportunities and industry exposure that can advance their careers. Families and schools: Accessible theatre experiences at a time when many cannot afford commercial tickets.
– The sector: Pathways for new Australian musicals to be developed, showcased, and supported by producers and investors.
Why Your Support Matters:
Your contribution helps ensure that the next generation of Australian musicals doesn’t just get written, but it gets heard. By funding this workshop, you will:
– Champion the creation of distinctly Australian stories that resonate with families and schools.
– Strengthen our cultural sector by directly investing in artists and the creative workforce.
– Help launch a musical that could become part of Australia’s cultural legacy and demonstrate global commercial potential.
In short, your support fuels both the immediate development of Clancy of the Outback and the long-term growth of Australian musical theatre, making it possible for our stories to thrive on local and international stages.
“It is so pleasing to see such a talented group of young Australians dedicate their talents into producing a musical adventure featuring our iconic Aussie content.”
– Murray Salt River
