Before GSA I had some brilliant experiences with Sheffield People’s Theatre, Crucible Theatre and Hasland Theatre Co. Here are a selection of mementos: a few of the more unusual props used and the time I appeared in the credits of a BBC1 TV show on Christmas Day courtesy of CBeebies!

While we wait for our turn to re-open we are keeping to theatrical tradition with a single "Ghost Light" burning on Stage.💡 Some claim the light scares away ghosts 👻 maybe it's to stop people falling over in a dark theatre 🤬? We like to think it says "We will return" 🎭
