Jack is the musical director and co-founder of Stardust, and has worked in youth theatre for nearly 15 years now and has worked on some incredible shows with some incredibly talented young people. It’s been a fun and interesting experience in learning so many different styles of music for different shows over the years. It’s really pushed Jack to become a better musician and he truly believes only musical theatre would have delivered this opportunity. In starting Stardust one of Jack’s main aims was to provide accessible creative experiences for young people, particularly accessible in the sense of there being no pay wall to have the opportunity to be creative. One of his other main aims was to be able to provide unique creative experiences for young people.
