OSMaD had its beginnings in the Old Scotch Music Club formed in October 2005. Scotch College has an association with Music and Drama which now stretches over 100 years and a warranted reputation for excellence.
Timed to coincide with the completion of the James Forbes Academy, the inception of the OSMC was designed to provide an avenue to allow Old Boys to continue their involvement in music.
Renamed to the Old Scotch Music and Drama to incorporate drama, but now just known as OSMaD, they’ve grown to be a respected musical theatre company in the amateur musical theatre community in Melbourne, known for high quality productions. They give many opportunities for theatre development and craft to the Old Boys and wider community.
A full list of their productions can be found on their website here.
Auditions are held each year around June – please check the website and follow social channels for details.
Every year OSMaD produces a major musical.
Check the website for details of the current production including auditions, volunteer opportunities and tickets.

OSMaD draws wide participation from across Melbourne amongst those interested in music, theatre performance and production.
OSMaD is not restricted to the Scotch community and anyone with an interest in theatre is welcome.
2025 Production – Come From Away
Join us in December 2025 when OSMaD presents Come From Away.
Come From Away tells the true story of how the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, became the unexpected host to thousands of stranded passengers on September 11, 2001. After 38 planes were diverted to Gander’s airstrip, the isolated community welcomed the travelers, overcoming cultural and language barriers with music, open bars, and a sense of global solidarity.
