'Carnegie 18 : New Music Theatre Series continues to shine a light on the creative development of new Australian music theatre works. New music theatre works have been submitted by some of the boldest creative teams across Australia and three of the very best have been chosen for further development. After an intensive workshop period, all three will be showcased in the Fairfax Studio at various stages of completion, offering audiences an opportunity once again to help shape the works further with their feedback.'

'Learning lessons about good behaviour has never been so absurd and amusing all at the same time. Arena Theatre Company team with the absurd imagination of comic writer Claudia O'Doherty to bring to life Hilare Belloc’s early 20th century satirical poems about wayward children and their just deserts.
Expertly poking tongues at authority figures and pompous types, this mock-moralistic, vividly colourful show-within-a-show is told by a dysfunctional family troupe of four aided by their time machine.' Source: www.artscentremelbourne.com.au/ (Sighted 01/02/2012).

'America! The land of hope, opportunity, and DreamSong. Pastor Richard Sunday is in trouble. His Evangelical Megachurch, DreamSong, has lost millions in the Global Financial Crisis and the future is looking grim. To continue saving the souls of America, Pastor Richard hatches a plan to stage the second coming of Jesus and market him as a Centerfold Superstar. Using traditional music theatre conventions, "DreamSong" invokes the heartfelt earnestness of Christian pop and American power ballads with a touch of gospel, Yiddish folk and the occasional Broadway-styled show tune.'

'Meet Jim, a young indigenous lawyer cutting his own groove in the corporate world of law firm Kingsworth, Kerrigan & Klein.
