The Company

Just A Stage Productions is a community based, inclusive, fun musical theatre company. It was formed in 2019 by Karen Morgan out of her lifelong love of all things production and musical. With sold out shows in 2021 and 2023 of Downtown!The Mod musical and the formation of the vocal trio Colour Your World in 2024, the Just A Stage team look forward to collaborating with loads more like-minded people and rolling out more exciting musical adventures over the coming years.

Karen Aarons

Karen’s love of performance and musical theatre started at the age of 5 with her debut as a toy clown in the school production! She has produced, conducted and participated in a number of choirs, shows and bands since then.

Most recently she has been involved in GP The Musical (Lead role, Melbourne Comedy Festival/NIDA), Mary Poppins (Mrs Banks, Sprout Music Theatre) and Downtown!The Mod Musical (Orange girl, Just A Stage Productions). She founded Just A Stage Productions in 2019 with a local team of wonderfully talented individuals and is excited about future endeavours"
