Fantasy is coming up very soon, and we can’t wait to show off the two original works that make up this exciting double-bill, “The Dream” and “The Hero’s Journey”. The Dream is an 80s dance showcase that features three amazing singers, and we can’t wait to introduce them to you!
Emily Jacker-Lawrence is returning once again to ADC as a singer after lending her talents to Stepwise (our very first show), The Man About Town (2013) and most recently as one of the lead vocalists in Ours last year in Geelong, Melbourne and Ballarat.
Madeline Pratt is an ADC Impact Ensemble member who is taking a turn as a vocalist on the Attitude stage for Fantasy. She has just returned from Adelaide performing yet another season of her original dance theatre work, Moments.
Sally-Anne Cowdell is an experienced singer and musical theatre performer, and she's making her ADC debut with Fantasy this April! We're so excited to welcome her to the ADC Family.

Emily Jacker-Lawrence
What are some of your favourite performance highlights?
Emily:
In 2016 I played Mary Poppins with BLOC in Ballarat. It was the most challenging and rewarding show and I will never forget that experience. The music theatre community of Ballarat being so welcoming and accepting made it all the more rewarding. Last year I was one of the lead vocalists for ADC's Ours. Being a part of that show allowed me to reconnect with my love of singing and my confidence in my abilities.
Maddy:
Creating, performing and touring my own work of Moments is definitely my biggest accomplishment but my favourite times on stage have been as Maureen, Heather Duke or Val.
Sally-Anne:
Playing Dorothy in 42nd Street (Centerstage), the Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (GLTS), Svetlana in Chess (GSODA Inc), and Amy in Company (GLTS).
