Australian Musical Theatre Festival: Masterclass – Nadine Garner
21 May @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm AEST

Boasting more than 40 events over five days, the Australian Musical Theatre Festival returns to Launceston. Carmel Dean’s Well Behaved Women, which shines a light on some of history’s trailblazing women, launches the festival, while the Opening Night Gala features a cast led by Jarrod Draper. The centrepiece is a production of The Frogs by Stephen Sondheim, Burt Shevelove and Nathan Lane. In another highlight, Delia Hannah reflects on her life in Seeing Is Believing, in which she is joined by the festival’s Artistic Director Tyran Parke. Following a sold-out performance last year, the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra returns for the concert Broadway Showstoppers with singers Draper, Hannah, Lisa Crosato, Nadine Garner, Rob Mallett and Lorinda May Merrypor.
Limelight Editor’s Choice
Nadine is one of Australia’s finest actresses and, as such, is going to focus her masterclass on the approach to monologues. For those wanting to audition for drama school or a general audition at any one of our State Theatre companies, this will be a standard requirement.
Each artist will take a one-hour session guiding performers through material from their career and sharing techniques and direction from the world’s best.
You are welcome to audit the class and learn from watching others, or you can apply to be one of those actually taking the lesson. Application are via the audition portal on the website.
