Riverside High was proud to welcome back Glenn Moorhouse, a former student who has carved out a remarkable 25-year career in the Australian music and theatre industry. Now a musical director, guitarist, composer, and producer, Glenn has worked with artists like Paul McDermott, iOTA, and Prinnie Stevens, and led major productions including American Idiot and Dubbo Championship Wrestling.

On Friday 16 May, Glenn visited Grade 9/10 Music students, sharing stories of his journey from Riverside to Sydney’s theatre scene. He spoke about his early inspiration, his leap into musical theatre, and his recent work composing for Li’l Elvis Jones and The Truckstoppers. Students then performed in small groups, receiving encouraging and insightful feedback.

His visit was a powerful reminder that big dreams can start in small places.
