Seek the untold

Welcome to Musical Theatre Australia. We work and live on Jinibara and Gubbi Gubbi country, in the beautiful Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Queensland. Our mission is to create uplifting musicals that place women and queer people at the centre of history, not on the periphery.

We’re going on tour!

In March 2025, we’re taking our award-winning musical “A Girl’s Guide to World War” on the road!
