New Wolsey Theatre Podcast

In this episode, Mr P, Head of Production & Facilities at the New Wolsey Theatre, talks to us about his job and what he, and his team, do here at The New Wolsey!
He gives us an insight into how he first started working in the theatre industry, including a very interesting story about something from his first ever theatre.
Mr P talks about navigating COVID-19, and specifically about how the New Wolsey adopted an approach to accommodate everyone with the continuation of livestreaming as lockdown and restrictions have eased.
Mr P also chats to us about the New Wolsey's recent win for 'Best Digital Pantomime' from the UK Pantomime Awards for 'Jack and the Beanstalk',. As well as a couple of very funny stories throughout his career, Mr P recounts a pantomime a few years ago that used real horses in the show - and ..... listen in to what happened next!
Thank you to Mr P for giving us your time to make a really interesting podcast episode about a side of theatre that often goes unspoken about!
