For the past twenty years Craig has been at the helm of No Mates Productions creating original plays and musicals in educational, community and commerical settings.  These innovative productions have toured extensively throughout Australia and internationally.

As a composer and writer Craig has created a number of commercial musicals. His show Crusade has the distinction of being the largest concert production of an original Australian musical when it premiered at the Melbourne Concert Hall in 1998. This show has since gone on to be produced in Edinburgh in 2000 where it was reviewed as ‘…the next Les Miserables’.  He composes all of the original music for his theatre for school productions as well and has had works commissioned by the Singapore Science Centre, LaTrobe University and a number of other organisations. In 2003 he completed a major new musical The White Rose for Monash University which premiered in Melbourne and subsequently toured Singapore. Other works include the cabaret musical After The Beep (nominated for Best New Musical 2004) and the chamber musical Love Equals. The comedy EUROBEAT – Almost Eurovision  www.eurobeatthemusical.com became the first Australian musical with an original score to be given a national tour in twenty years when it was performed throughout Australia to rave reviews and four Green Room Award nominations in 2006.  Eurobeat was the best selling show and hit of the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe festival where it won the Best Musical award. In 2008, Eurobeat undertook a UK tour before an eight-week West End season in London. It was rewarded with a nomination for Best New Musical in the 2008 Evening Standard awards for the West End and polling third most popular new musical in the Whatsonstage People's Choice Award. 

His long standing Children's Book Week productions have been touring since 1991 playing to a total audience of well over one million students in schools. These include the Frater Award winning productions Shiver Me Timbers  and Knock Knock! Who's There?  These productions have toured internationally and are currently the single biggest show touring into primary schools in both Australia and New Zealand.

Craig has more musicals published through Hal Leonard Australia than any other Australian writer/ composer.  His work as a playwright for young people has resulted in the publication of ten of his plays which have been used extensively in primary and secondary schools. His playscript Where’s Tom? is part of the Voiceworks series which won the Drama Victoria award for The Best New Australian Series for Teachers and Students 2001 and has recently been released in Canada.
