LEAH MUSTARD

After completing the Apprenticeship Program in 2021, Leah is excited to play with the Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble as an Advanced Apprentice in 2023. In 2022, Leah graduated with a Bachelor of Arts/Secondary Education from the University of Queensland and has recently been seen in Macbeth (Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble), Much Ado About Nuthink (Brisbane Arts Theatre), As You Like It (Thunderbear Productions for Anywhere Theatre Festival), Judgement Day (Short + Sweet Festival) and The Bald Soprano (University of Queensland).

As an artist, Leah is interested in the intersection between education and theatre, as well as making classical texts more accessible to young people interested in Shakespeare and performance. Leah acknowledges that the land on which they live and play is stolen from the Yuggera and Turrbal peoples, would like to extend her respect to elders past and present, and acknowledges that sovereignty was never ceded.
