However it wasn't until 1996 they produced their first show, Robin Hood 3 - the Third One for the Flood Relief concert held at the Geelong Performing Arts Centre. Following this they branched out into sketch comedy, disco floorshows and children's theme parties.
CMG’s design arm creates theatrical websites, posters and programs.
