Three third-year music theatre students have been preparing for their farewell cabaret performances at the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music Theatre in Mackay.

Music Theatre coordinator Judith Brown said Julie Price, Madeline Cain and Emily Fraser had put in a huge effort devising their own shows for assessment. Ms Brown said the cabarets would also be a farewell Mackay appearance before they join with the other music theatre graduates for a Showcase performance for theatrical agents in Melbourne on December 3.

She said the students had worked hard on fundraising - including carwashes - to ensure they could afford to travel to the showcase event.

The next third-year cabaret event will be held in the Conservatorium foyer from 8pm on Friday, October 4. Tickets are only $10 for adults and $5 concession, with bookings on 4940 7800.

The cabaret performances are accompanied by Judith Brown on piano.
