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
010 - Philip Franks
This week someone that Tash and Shayley both know, and who we think you will love. The director of the last show we ever did Philip Franks joins us over Zoom.
Folk of a certain generation will remember Philip ( Pip to his friends) for his roles in The Darling Buds of May and Heartbeat. More than a few of us will have seen him in his basque and fishnets as The Narrator in The Rocky Horror Show that toured a few years back.
Parish Notices:

If you are Social Media savvy we have a Facebook page and as Tash is a whiz at these things and Instagram account ( apparently that's easy for you to find....) Do feel free to link to us, and leave comments. We are especially to keen to hear from you if you have guest suggestions, or ideas as to topics you would like us to natter about.
