Mudlark is a significant regional theatre company that produces at least one new professional production a year and develops new scripts and artists on an ongoing basis. It loves its local community and dedicated to creating new work in regional centres throughout Tasmania.
Working out of Launceston, Mudlark is an established collective with a reputation for producing high quality theatre that is theatrically rich, socially current and emotionally complex crafted around a Tasmanian experience. It reminds us what it is to be human.
Mudlark has created significant new works including I am a Lake, The Possum, The Midlands, The Sea Project, Beautiful, Dancing Back Home, Cross and Cafe), and has reinterpreted a number more (Junk Rooms, Action, Rooted, Underneath the Lintel, What is the Matter with Mary Jane?). Mary Jane (2005) is significant as the show that got our first co-artistic directors together: Jane Johnson as actor and Carrie McLean as director. They shepherded the company from toddler to adolescence. Stuart Loone took over the ADship at the start of 2009 and handed to Darren Willmott in 2013, then 2019 welcomed our current AD Cheyne Mitchell.
We've also engaged with a whole range of less visible programs, such as the Australia Council's Cultural Leadership Program, the brilliant Voices from the Grave project in the Northern Midlands and facilitating masterclasses & developments.
The company is governed by a volunteer board of professionals which can be found here.
