Ah, my right hand man. The back bone of the society. Ladies and Gentlemen, he once sang he 'wanted to be a producer' and now **fanfare** he is one. Mr Whitaker, the floor is yours:
From the moment I was asked by Neil (Director) to be the Producer for Mack & Mabel.... I was overwhelmed with a sense of, pride, excitement and fear!
Pride - because I know that everyone involved in Highcliffe Charity Players productions always give 100% both on and off the stage and the shows are always excellent. I knew I’d be proud to be part of this production.
Excitement – knowing that I will be working alongside a great production team and working on a show which I have always wanted to be involved with.
Fear – The fact that, as a Director, Neil oozes talent and demands excellence. I knew it would be a hell of a lot of hard work....... but knowing it will all be worth it!
The hard work began pretty quickly for Neil to try and chose a cast out of the many excellent auditionees, and he has chosen a great cast, although I am sure he will agree that he could have cast the show many different ways, which is testament to the standard of auditions!When the Mack & Mabel production wheels started turned, I was Directing and producing Panto and trying to juggler many balls in the air..... not including my own!
I then performed in a Drowsy Chaperone which was a great experience and a load of fun...... but always in the back of my mind was, Mack & Mabel!
I am pleased to say now that Mack & Mabel is firmly in the forefront of my mind and we are steaming ahead with Publicity, sponsorships, set build, props, costumes.... etc etc.
The rehearsals are starting to display wonderful performances, choreography and great musical direction. This show has the make-up of developing into a great event and it’s our job to ensure everyone knows about when the show is on, so that no-one misses it!
Pete
Producer
