Our amazing deputy stage manager, Jenny Abrahall, captured these fab photos of some of the Ben Hur cast in rehearsal last Sunday. We hope to start bringing in costuming soon soon very he next few weeks (we are still in early days!) . The characterisation and focus of the cast is brilliant.

Today Awesome Sarah (and the lovely Ziggy!) joined our tech team- today, Sarah came along to meet us, find out what our rehearsals are like, etc. Sarah will be one of the new people helping with tech on our shows- we will have 4 technicians for sound/ lighting so that there’s always one, and ideally two, technicians available for performances - around their life/ jobs/ family / other commitments
The other new technicians will be coming along to rehearsals over the next week or so to also sit in on a rehearsal and meet us- then training will begin! #womenintheatre #theatre #performingarts #stagesound #stagelighting #brixham #britishtheatre #devon #torbay #arts Absolutely great Ben Hur rehearsals again today- including the galley slaves, Judah Ben Hur’s return to Jerusalem, and the trial & Crucifixion of Jesus. The cast are doing absolutely fabulously- and an enormous thank you to those who read in for those not able to attend with the petrol shortages etc
Our fabulous deputy stage manager, Jenny, also got some fabulous photos which will appear on our social media over the next week or so. #theatre #Brixham #BenHur #actors #actorslife #theatrelife #Devon #Torbay #britishtheatre #stage #theatrerehearsal We are so pleased to be closing the call for the tech crew, and welcoming some great people who will be getting involved with us.
With the pandemic, our most frequent tech, Simon, is also a paramedic, and is snowed under with his job, so we all agreed to put the call out for some other people who would like to get involved with the tech side of theatre, with lighting and sound etc. We agreed to find two other people, so that shows could be teched reliably, working alongside everyone's availabilities and commitments of life, work, etc, - and to be willing to provide training as well. As it has turned out we will be welcoming three fabulous ladies who will be learning to run tech on the shows. Over the coming rehearsals, they will each be coming to visit and sit in on a rehearsal to see and meet the rest of the team. Then, we will be arranging the tech training sessions for when they, and Simon are all available - that may take a few weeks to sort out around everyone's availabilities, but we will get there!!! Ultimately between the four, we should always have at least one, ideally two, techs on each of our upcoming shows. It is going to be so exciting to welcome them to work on our shows. - Laura Jury (photo: stock image at local theatre) #theatre #theatrelife #stage #acting #stageshow #stagelife #stagelighting #stagesound #brixham #devon #torbay #britishtheatre #womenintheatre
Huge congratulations to our lovely Ben Hur cast members Parascovia and Phil. We were recently approached by a film company seeking fully paid local actors for a new commercial being filmed tomorrow- and these two awesome people were selected. This is fabulous - after all, the reason that we were founded in the first place is to support local people in building their careers as freelance actors and creatives - and with the fees coming to them from the commercial film company, they will both be eligible (should they wish) to apply for their Equity cards!
Have a wonderful time filming both of you! #theatrelife #actors #Brixham #filmmaking #torbay #theatre #SmashingTheGlassCeilings |
