Sharonlee Martin B.A.(Drama), Dip.Ed and Anne Roylance B.Mus.Ed, A.Mus.A. (piano), established Piccolo Productions in 1989.

In that year, they joined forces to create an early childhood theatre company,  where they wrote and produced original music theatre works for children aged 3 - 8.

Piccolo Productions timeless musical stories: Bango and Mango Tree, Fiddlesticks the Frog, Puffy the Fluffy White Cloud, A Fine Kettle of Fish and many more, were presented at Primary schools, Pre-schools and Child Care Centres, from Brisbane to Cairns. They also partnered with the Queensland Symphony, Queensland Philharmonic and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestras to promote music and music making as an important ingredient in a young person’s education.

Sharonlee and Anne were also commissioned to write and present works for the Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s Out of the Box Festival for children 8 and under.

Piccolo Productions was featured in an exhibition at the Tony Gould Gallery at Q.P.A.C. The exhibition celebrated the work of children theatre companies in Queensland.
