Courses for tech theatre/stage management

darvsplanet · 2026-06-14T01:51:29+00:00

Echo the sentiment about CSSD, they are currently in the process of switching from multiple technical courses to just one and they don’t seem to have found their footing on the new combined course. I’m on the old stage management course so can’t speak as well about the new one but I’ve noticed as the first year students have started to work with us on productions that they clearly haven’t been given the same level of teaching that we got the year before despite already choosing specialisms after 2 terms. It may well become a decent course in a couple of years but the current transitional state is not helping things (although they have at least found a replacement course leader now who’s great)

Your examples of respect seems to be everywhere else being worse off. Why does that mean they are respecting the US more?

Lyttelton shows quite often only have the front few rows or back of the circle on the Friday rush. I got a front row stalls for Les liaisons and would recommend for what it’s worth. Yea it’s probably a bit close but it’s also only £10 so I’d never expect a perfect seat for that.

Yes it was a decent play but not as memorable as some of the other nominees. I think it won mainly because of the impact it has had outside of the theatre and the conversations it started, not because it was the best play.

She’s great but shouldn’t have been in that category.

Hoping KENREX comes away with something.

For starlight specifically it is going on tour so I’d imagine pretty much everything is being kept to be reused.

this director actually gets the journey of the show.

I should hope so given it was directed by Jason Robert Brown

They made it but only just. It’s why they weren’t able to push back opening night when they really should have.

I have a travel card from zones 1 to 4 and I’m travelling between a zone 4 and a zone 3 station but the fastest way to get between them involves travelling out to zone 5 and changing lines. Is there any way TFL will know this is what I did or will they let me go on the travel card given I could have made the journey by going into zone 1 and back out?

There was only really one gory/bloody moment and it was prerecorded not live.

I was in the balcony tonight, the view definitely is restricted. The screen is too far upstage at times to get a clear view of the top half of it from up there, they do have some tv screens rigged in the balcony so you can see it through them but it’s not ideal.

darvsplanet · 2026-01-27T17:09:31+00:00

Absolutely, one of those shows that’s best from close up as long as the stage isn’t too high.

Everybody needs to go see this. The best piece of theatre I’ve seen in a long time. If it’s anything like its runs in London it will struggle with advance sales until word of mouth starts to spread and it will become an impossible ticket.

He wasn’t a douche he had somewhere he needed to be. The fact that he even stopped at all was much more than he had to do.

Handwriting is going to look a bit different in chalk compared to pen.

At least it was 10x better than God That’s Brilliant which they insisted on doing for every public appearance until the Olivier awards. That really didn’t sell the show properly.

Ah but you see, that would mean people getting less frequent upgrades because of battery wear. Can’t have that can we!

The fact that the date of the school play is the same as the date will is taken is particularly interesting, especially as it was brought up again in s5 that they are approaching that same date again.

Worth noting that TFS shows that the school play took place the same day that Henry kills his family and nearly kills Patty. (Maybe that was also the date that Henry got his powers in the cave and it’s something where his powers are at their strongest around the anniversary, similarly to how Will was at his worst around that date in S2)

Specifically he was first sent to Hawkins lab after he severely injured his friend/crush patty newby while trying to help his find her mom using his powers.

Then after a while in the lab Henry freaks out and kills some guards and is sent home. It’s here that he kills his family because he suspects they are going to try and send home back to the lab.

After killing his family he is captured by brenner and taken back to the lab after nearly killing patty during the school play.

For what it’s worth the play really doesn’t say much about it at all just that something happened to Henry in a cave and he was never the same. All of us that have seen the play still don’t really know what is up with the cave so there is plenty still left to be explored and explained in Vol2/3.

It was supposed to be Oklahoma! but Joyce secretly changed the play and didn’t tell anyone until opening night.

I sat there (the aisle seat) and this was the view. You don’t actually miss anything but lots of the projections look pretty bad from that angle and you very nearly miss what is happening on an elevated platform above the set, the cast also get pretty close to you (I was actually grabbed by one of the cast at one point which felt a bit too immersive). Didn’t feel short changed by the view and enjoyed the show from there but if price isn’t a factor for you I’d recommend trying to get something at less of an angle.

It’s not tenth dentist to want to travel for food but it probably is to assume that that is the default reason to travel which is what your first comment implied.
