Richard arrived on the Canberra theatre scene late in life, somewhere between his 31st and 32nd birthdays. His first show was in Phoenix Players production of Kiss Me Kate in 2006, where he "Fell in love with theatre" and since then he has appeared in dozens of shows ranging from plays to musicals to pantomimes.

In 2010 Richard began his foray into producing shows as the Production Manager for Phoenix Players Disney's double bill - Cinderella and The Aristocats. He found managing two casts of about 50 children set him up to handle adult casts like "no other text book training could ever have". In 2012 he got his first chance direct with How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying as part of the Phoenix Players - Phoenix Rising Program.

In 2013 he performed leading roles in Ickle Pickle's production of Oliver! playing the "suitably sinister" Bill Sikes, as Frank Butler in Queanbeyan Player's Annie Get Your Gun and as understudy for the role of Javert in Canberra Philharmonic Society's Les Miserable.

In 2013 Richard launched the StageCenta website as a resource and information hub for the theatre scene.

In 2014 Richard established Dramatic Productions to co-produce The Rokitelly Man with Ickle Pickle Productions. And then in 2015 directed and produced The Last Five Years and teaming up with the ANU School of Music Into the Woods which won 3 Canberra Area Theatre awards. In 2016 Richard directed Dramatic Productions 4th show Catch Me If You Can.

2017 saw the last production directed by Richard, Sweeney Todd. Afterwards he would exclusively produce theatre, staging Heathers the Musical in 2018 and then The Producers in 2019, starring Daryl Somers (Hey Hey Its Saturday) and directed by Rachael Beck.

Fraser Findlay: Born in Glasgow, Scotland Fraser spent his youth between a small isolated Scottish town called Campbeltown (his hometown) and Virginia Beach, VA, USA. He was encouraged my music teachers and family to participate in any and all music programs available and in his teen years this culminated in many years singing with the highly accomplished Virginia Children's Chorus and attending the Vocal Program at the Governors School for the Arts in Norfolk, VA. After being heavily submersed in the world of classical music, Fraser veered off of his current course to attend college in NYC in the Musical Theater Program at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. 

After graduation, Frasers first gig sent him out on a national US tour with an educational bilingual performance of Le Petit Prince. This was the beginning of almost 15 years of touring and performing around the world on cruise ships, in local productions, television shows, conferences and many other projects and venues. He is also a passionate teacher of Musical Theatre and Voice after having pushed Step by Step Dubai to great success  by spearheading it's Musical Theatre Program and its subsequent productions as Artistic Director. After singing throughout Europe with The 12 Tenors, Fraser now finds himself in Canberra, Australia facing the exciting task of "starting again", meeting and networking with Australian producers, casting agents and performers and proving himself on the local stage. Since arriving in November 2014 he has played Jacob in La Cage Aux Folles (SUPA), sung for Canberra in Carols by Candlelight, and understudied Bert in Mary Poppins (Free Rain). This performance is dedicated to Nate and Aria for their constant love and support.
