Welcome to your uk theatre network

Passionate About Theatre
I'm passionate, are you ?

DearFriend

Did you have a good week ?   Mine ?  Well, since you ask....

Busy week as usual. The BAFTA AGM provided another opportunity to meet with the top people in the business and I was fortunate enough to chat with top TV producers Kenith Trodd and Hilary Bevan Jones as well as Amanda Millen from the BBC. Former UKTN Reviewer Paul Barber was also there, so it was nice to see a familiar face.  The week continued with budget planning at Raindance with Elliot Grove, where he showed me the new Raindance trailer (featured below). I was also at the India Now event, looking at potential marketing events for "Little India",  and then the week finished off nicely with a call from a Screen International journalist  wanting to interview me for Making It In Hollywood. As if the week couldn't get better, a major advertising house called me for statistics to consider advertising on the site.

Hope you get to see some of the great theatre this week. Whether you are in Brighton, London, Newcastle, Stoke, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Manchester, Oxford. It's all there at a click of a mouse. Be a pal, and forward this to your own mailing list. It'll help give much needed support and encourage more audiences to these theatre productions.

Thousands of actors have bought Becoming a Successful Actor, some because of the list of top acting schools, others for the tips on getting film and commercial work, still others for the articles by working actors about how to stand out from the crowd and break into this seemingly difficult industry.
