Yesterday started slow, but picked up pace as we went along. These weeks are always tough on all concerned, crew typically work twelve hour days, actors in costume for [...]

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010When you come to see the panto at Harrogate Theatre, what you’re probably not thinking about is how many times they have to rehearse each scene, each dance, and each song. But there are some things you may or may not realise. For the better part of the last three weeks, eleven people have been [...]
