One Olivier Award later…

2 years ago today I watched @HamiltonMusical in NY. Audition was following day. Left the theatre awed and definitely shitting myself. But… Dream big. Never give up. Work for it. Wait for it. pic.twitter.com/Fz8IIR5gau

The Edinburgh Fringe announced a cool initiative

In just one week the city will be bustling with flyerers promoting their shows!

In an effort to cut down on paper we have launched #QuickFlyer! Performers will e-pitch their show on Twitter and Insta each Friday 12:00-14:00 for the next five weeks.

Flyer away! #IntoTheUnknown pic.twitter.com/xVKqMQbvsH

Summer put the HEAT in theatre

It's important to fan the neck when stuck in a hot environment, making sure to evaporate all the sweat hidden within the neck folds. #LifeLessons pic.twitter.com/e8H1C1yVlH
