We may have seemed quite quiet in 2015 but we’ve been very busy beavering away making plans and preparations and we’re pleased to announce the first of these is about to come to fruition.
We’re delighted to announce that our new musical Standing By is coming to the Stanwix Theatre at the beginning of March. We will be collaborating with second year musical theatre students at the University of Cumbria to bring a first showing of Standing By to the Cumbrian countryside.
The world of the theatre is spun on its head as those in black come out from the dark and into the limelight. The stage is set but join us behind the scenery where you’ll find an explosive story of friendship, imagination and illicit liquor production.
Spending their downtime exploring a realm of fantasy to escape the repetition that 8 shows a week can bring, the backstage team open their game to a wandering understudy, unaware of the high-stakes this new player brings. Meanwhile the rest of the crew are busy trying to hide their dodgy dealings from the tyrannical Stage Manager. All it’d take for everything to come crashing down is a small dose of reality.
You can check out the team (including faces both old and new) who have been working away on Standing By right here on our website by CLICKING HERE.
