Act One

Millicent Sarre (aka Mim) enters this world with musical genes. They come from her dad Rick Sarre (1972), himself a beloved old scholar, as well as her Mum Debra Sarre who was a very competitive and successful Highland Dancer. They didn鈥檛 skip younger brother Elliott (2014) either who is, according to Mim, a 鈥渂rilliant songwriter/guitarist鈥� as well as lawyer.

Mim鈥檚 been creating and performing for as long as she can remember. 鈥淚t鈥檚 just something I鈥檝e always done that felt very innate to me. As a little kid I was always making up little songs and at school I was always the one on the piano at Chapel singing something that I鈥檇 written. It鈥檚 a skill set that I鈥檝e honed over time just by virtue of doing it.鈥�

The opportunities and encouragement Mim got at school were highly influential in her eventually pursuing the Arts. A member of Mellor in one of its sportier phases, Mim was the IB theatre student more likely to be found exploring music and drama than running many races.

Academics were also highly important and something that came quite naturally. 鈥淚鈥檝e always been a big nerd鈥�, she says. Tune in to any of her lyrics and the intellect is immediately apparent. Being a nerd has its benefits.

In Year 10 Mim played the titular role in Thoroughly Modern Millie and loved it as much for the bonding as for the music.

She鈥檚 never forgotten the sheer scale of the show either.

鈥淚t was greater than anything I鈥檇 had the opportunity to do prior. It was the full show with the full orchestra. Costumes were out of this world, and we got to do it in the Norwood Town Hall鈥攁 gorgeous, grandiose theatre. The School takes it seriously and ensures it鈥檚 a significant experience. I feel similarly about the shows that we went on to do in Years 11 and 12 as Drama students.鈥�

Mim says being given a lot of autonomy over what they created in those final years was probably the precursor to the fact that she鈥檚 gone on to write so much of her own work. 鈥淲e were given trust at a pivotal age that our ideas mattered and that what we wanted to contribute was worthwhile and worthy.鈥�

A 无码流出AV influence that remains to this day is that of former teacher, Julianne English. When tossing up whether to audition for Drama straight out of school or wait a few years, it was Julianne who assured Mim she was within her rights to want to pursue it now. 鈥淪he was the first person who made me believe that following an artistic pathway was actually a viable career option. My parents have always been great supporters, but they were initially adamant that I follow something with more security.鈥�

From the moment Mim began putting on shows, Julianne has been invited to a preview performance and attended every opening night. 鈥淚 value her opinion and input so much.鈥�

The Interval

Mim describes her path into a full-time Arts career as an odd one.

鈥淚 studied law first off. About six months after I finished school I went and did a year at Graceland University, a liberal arts college in Iowa. My Dad and cousin had gone there, and it was amazing鈥攖he best year of my life. Then I came home and did my law degree in Adelaide while still heavily involved in teaching performing arts, participating in 无码流出AV theatre and performing in multiple shows at every Fringe.

I really enjoyed studying law because it was very academically rigorous and I'm such a language person. Really getting into the nitty gritty of statutory interpretation and choice of words and language scratched that part of my brain but my creative juices just weren't flowing in that setting. So, I finished my law degree and did my placement to get admitted, imagining I would be a lawyer by day and at shows each night. The juxtaposition made it very clear to me that one was not the right fit. Then I wrote my first Cabaret show, Friendly Feminism, and it went gangbusters. I realised I could do Arts as a job.鈥�

Mim did a Fringe season of the show in 2020, then COVID-19 hit.

Act Two

The wild success of Friendly Feminism was of course welcome鈥攎ultiple awards and more money than she鈥檇 ever had鈥攂ut by closing night Mim was tired and relieved she could sleep. COVID-19 closures made her take stock and realise she鈥檇 always wanted to study musical theatre at a tertiary level. Touring wasn鈥檛 going to be possible with closed borders and there were such extreme restrictions on capacity in venues that study made a lot of sense.

As luck would have it, there was a brand-new course in Adelaide at the Elder Conservatorium. So, at 26 Mim went back to study. Here she met a new best friend and collaborator in 鈥渇ellow outspoken, lefty feminist鈥� Rosie Russell, who would become part of the award-winning Bisexual Intellectuals line-up.

Since graduating from this course, Mim has hit the ground running, and her Arts career is fully fledged. In the past few months alone, she鈥檚 performed Bisexual Intellectuals at the Adelaide Fringe and won a Weekly Award; joined the rotating cast for a performance of Simply Brill, alongside fellow old scholar Michael Griffiths (1991); and recently discovered that PRIMETIME, the musical she鈥檚 writing with former lecturer Joseph Simons, has been programmed in this year鈥檚 Cabaret Festival as the musical theatre work in development.

As well as upholding triple threat status as a freelance performer and cabaret artist, Mim also works as a vocal coach for individuals and groups.

The Encore

Given all her commitments, Mim鈥檚 not sure how plausible it will be to work on a 无码流出AV Middle School Musical again, but she鈥檇 love to.

鈥淚n my work as Vocal Director on three 无码流出AV musicals鈥�TheAddam鈥檚 Family, Mamma Mia! and Chicago鈥擨 saw deep connections grow before my eyes, between groups of kids who might not necessarily have had pre-existing relationships. By the end they were so tight knit. I loved it.

I especially loved working with Rebecca Ramsey (1997) who is just a force of nature. The kids adore her and she's so passionate about what she does. She also understands as an old scholar how special that one chance to do the musical is. She鈥檚 really intent on making it life changing.鈥�

Should that musical experience ignite a spark like it did for Mim, her advice is a line she has tattooed on her body: Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.

Musical Notes:

Lyrics or melody, which do you write first?
I always start with lyrics but hear the melody immediately after.

Favourite genre - Cabaret or Musical Theatre?
That鈥檚 like picking a favourite child. I can鈥檛.

What instruments do you play?
Ukelele and piano. I taught myself the uke specifically for one song. I took piano lessons but always resisted the classical route and now regret not learning to read music better!

Remembering lines, hard or easy?
The lines I鈥檝e sung I remember forever. The purely spoken lines, not so much.

Favourite person to perform with?
I have two. My best friends: Rosie and Jem who perform in Bisexual Intellectuals with me.

Career highlights?
Winning 鈥楤est Cabaret鈥� for Opinionated at the 2023 Fringe. It was the validation I needed. Being a mentor for The Class of Cabaret last year, encouraging young passionate talent.

Important advice for aspiring performers?
For Cabaret: Share your story safely, ensure you have distance and objectivity from it first. For Musical Theatre: Resist being homogenised, your unique quirks will be your superpower.
