We believe that now more than ever live performance is a vital part of staying connected to those around us, and can’t wait to invite you into the fantastical worlds we create.

See you at a show!

Jasper (he/him) is a professional composer, educator, and musician, trained at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. In 2022 he graduated with a Bachelor of Music majoring in Composition and Design Technology, and demonstrated his passion for musical theatre by structuring his graduating recital as a now infamous 45-minute show entitled ‘Monopoly: The Unauthorised Musical’.

He has been active in the Perth theatre scene for over a decade, including performing on-stage, music directing, playing as a pit musician, and working as a rehearsal pianist and vocal coach. Jasper now makes up one half of Roundhouse Theatrical Co.

Ian (he/him) is a Perth-based working musician, educator, and writer with a passion for creating stories. His love for theater developed during his time completing his undergraduate studies at WAAPA, where he stepped out of the Contemporary music world and into the orchestra pit for the first time.

Since graduating, Ian has become a fixture in the local theater scene as a percussionist and recently made the jump to directing and writing, acting as Assistant Director/Dramaturge on Wanneroo repertory's 2025 production of 'Tick Tick Boom'. In 2025 alongside his long time friend and collaborator Jasper Cruden, Ian launched Roundhouse Theatrical Co and produced the world premiere of their original work - ‘Monopoly: The Unauthorised Musical’ (now re-imagined as ‘Mayfair: A New Musical’) to a sold out season at Perth’s Old Mill Theatre.
