Production Meetings
Backstage theatre folk chatting. We asked Stage Managers, Producers, Directors, Production Managers, Technicians, and even a few lovely actors to come along to our "Production Meetings". Sharing pearls of wisdom, swapping comedy theatrical stories, and generally having a bit of a lark. Nothing too serious or time-consuming. With their tour off the road and the theatres shut due to COVID lockdown, two Stage Managers, Natasha Houghton and Mark Shayle, talk shop with invited guests ( *cough*, pals in fact, or people we would like to be pals with).
Episodes were released on Thursdays at 13:00 in the UK, coz that's when we do "Production Meetings".
Production Meetings
004 - Sam Hunter and Julia Whittle
A treat this week; The legends that are Sam Hunter and Julia Whittle join us in our zoom room. We talk teams, masterclasses, show disasters and wow-factor chats about show calling opening and closing Olympic ceremonies. Sam and Ju share anecdotes (Guildhall alumni's prepare!), lots of name dropping, and many, many laughs.
In between Jigjaw puzzle masterminding, we are delighted that the infamous Orange Jackets were able to give up their time to chat and delight us.

....and for a gorgeous bit of "slow TV": Jigjaw.
