Festival of New Work 2024
Presented by Hayes Theatre Co
Hayes Theatre Co has always been both a development hub for Australian music theatre talent and an engine of new music theatre writing. The Festival of New Work not only gives you the opportunity to see the next big thing in musical theatre, but also creates pathways and connections for artists to progress their own creative journey.
Stretching over two jam-packed weeks, the festival has something for everyone. With development showcases, conversations with industry titans, masterclasses, readings, concert presentations, industry networking events, and much more, you can tailor the festival to be whatever you want it to be.
Come and see musical theatre differently as we celebrate and champion what’s next in this thriving and vibrant industry.
