An award winning actor, director, writer and producer, Jay James-Moody has collaborated with an impressive range of Australia’s arts organisations, from Opera Australia to the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, and the Sydney Theatre Company to the Darlinghurst Theatre Company, plus New Mardi Gras, to name only a few. He is the founder and artistic director of Squabbalogic, an independent theatre company presenting an eclectic range of new musicals and reinterpretations of established favourites. Their next production is a new take on the 1960s screwball comic gem, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, playing at the Seymour Centre from March 17 to 15 April.

As well as giving us a preview of Squabbalogic’s production of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever and Squabbalogic's new Australian musical The Dismissal coming later in the year, Jay talks about his unorthodox entry into the theatre world and has some wonderful reflections on working in the industry. We also get to dip into his vast knowledge of musical theatre and he shares some rarities from his collection.
