The MC Hatchery Sponsorship 2019 Winner
"Songs Of The Northern River" by Alex . J . Ridefelt (aka Darby James)
A new Australian song cycle with an enchanting collection of short stories that explore how people navigate through change. The MC Showroom and Paxus Productions provided professional music arrangements, sound production, mentoring and use of their facilities to help lift this stunning work off the ground.
Its premier season in November, 2019 was performed by an all-female cast with 4-star reviews across the board.
Melbourne's nursery for new works
Since day one, our mission has been to launch new works and support smaller scale productions. We have witnessed many new creations take off from our little "nest". Along the way, we have learnt a lot about the common pitfalls that can choke the potential of a production.
So we would like to offer our adjacent facilities and expertise to help artists fill in the gaps. With an in-house music production suite, recording studio, a music guru and a marketing expert, we are proud to announce "The MC Hatchery"!
You may be eligible for a free hour of consultation to discuss both your music and marketing requirements. Contact us on the form below to find out more!

Recording services
Create professional cast recordings of your show, record broadcast-quality voiceovers for TV, Radio or Social Media or build all the sound-bed and sound effects tracks for your production. With a huge library of sounds, and an extensive network of voice artists and musicians, we can source any additional sound and talent you may need.
Film services
In a time when ‘Reels’ rule, splash your social media networks with high-end video clips of your production. Film the rehearsals, the cast recording sessions, interviews, Pop-vox or even a simple call out to buy tickets to your show.
Marketing & Promotional Assets
One of the most neglected parts of a production is marketing and publicity. As artists, we know that putting a show on stage is a mammoth work. This is where we can share the load. With decades of marketing experience and a trusted partner designer, we can help create a full package of marketing collateral. The "Hatchery" package also includes promotion through our own channels across various social media platforms and regular contacts, as well as indoor and outdoor advertisement networks.
Following a proper development process not only increases the quality of the production, it also inspires confidence in investors, and improves the acceptance rate of grant applications. Give your show the support it needs to take flight.
