Although AG Productions was formed just a few years ago, the ‘AG” in the company’s name has been around for a long time!
Andrew Guild has been involved with the production of ballet, circus, classical music, folk dance, ice spectaculars and a whole lot more for over forty years. Andrew worked closely with the Edgley organisation as executive producer for tours, such as The Royal Ballet, The Great Moscow Circus, Torvill and Dean, The Bolshoi Ballet and, quite literally, hundreds of internationally famous attractions. As AG Productions, Andrew is specialising in the presentation of comedy, ballet and music – but then won’t rule anything out. Andrew Guild’s journey in the world of entertainment started when, as a school boy, he sought out a holiday job by auditioning for the very first Australian production of Lionel Bart’s ground-breaking musical Oliver. A year playing the Artful Dodger, then more juggling of school and theatre work and finally, an invitation to join the Edgley family, which saw him take on responsibility for all things Russian. During Soviet times, Andrew made over 250 visits to Moscow and travelled extensively throughout Russia and the Soviet States. He estimates he has been involved with over 7,000 performers visiting Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, as well as many East Asian countries, including China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. |

Andrew Guild speaks Russian, knows the difference between a pas de deux on an Opera House stage and a triple somersault in a Big Top. He can design a sophisticated lighting rig; act as load master on a semi-trailer; plan marketing campaigns with budgets of millions, or judge at an International Circus Competition. He chooses to live in Melbourne and is happy to travel to seek out new talents, new thrills and entertainments that will appeal to audiences wherever there are beautiful Theatres, magnificent Concert Halls and spectacular Big Tops.
