About

Theatre Stop

Theatre Stop is for those who have a love (or even an interest, which perhaps we can cultivate into love!) of all things Theatre and Musical Theatre related. A place to stop in for motivation, inspiration, information - a stagey newsletter as it were - featuring tips, reviews of shows, what’s going on in the theatre realm, interviews with those working in the industry (established and emerging) – performers, directors, musical directors et cetera – to those who are striving to work in the industry. 

Everyone knows that it’s an incredibly tough (for so many reasons), bonkers but brilliantly rewarding industry and for those who wish to work in it, or are working in it – who better to inspire - and keep us inspired- than each other. So if you're having one of those days where you’re reaching for the chocolate/cake/gin/ rather large bottle of wine, throwing up your hands in theatrical despair and wondering if it’s all worth it, you can look to a place of shared experiences and realise, it is indeed worth it.  

This is a new adventure, so please bear with me - dodgy interview skills, questionable writing and the obvious tendency to ramble – because the people I hope to speak to will be worthy of being listened to. The life of the blog depends on the contribution of others, so please know that your participation and time is hugely appreciated. If yourself, or someone you know, would like to share with us -  if there’s a show you think is so wonderful that absolutely everyone has to see, if there’s a visionary group doing great theatrical things, a great theatre space with a brilliant story behind it, a wonderful workshop you’ve attended and want to encourage others to check out – I would very much like to hear from you, so please do get it touch. This is how Theatre Stop will work, and how we’ll keep each other inspired. 

Sincerely hoping that you enjoy Theatre Stop and have made it to the end of the post - congratulations and thank you!

P.S. It is evident in the current aesthetics of the blog that my computer competency ranges from minimal to none, but I solemnly promise you this - stick with me, it will get prettier.
