Since being established by Craig Christie in 1991,No Mates Productionshas created a varied and exciting series of original works throughout Australia and world wide in the fields of professional, community and children’s theatre. We pride ourselves on the eclectic nature of our body of work which is defined by strong storytelling and exciting, engaging original music. This has seen our productions win a variety of awards world wide including the inaugural Best New Musical award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2007 forEurobeat. A number of projects now tour annually such as our annual literacy based Children’s musicals which have become a feature in schools throughout Australia, New Zealand and the UK. New developments have seen several No Mates Productions shows being developed for television and feature film.
