Bridge Theatre Podcast
by Bridge Theatre
Welcome to the Bridge Theatre Podcast where we meet the people who make the magic happen — on stage, backstage, and everywhere in between. Presented by Pauline Fallowell, Director of Marketing and Audiences at the Bridge Theatre, we explore their first spark with theatre, the moments that shaped them, and their ultimate fantasy production — from dream casts and legendary creative teams to the perfect stage to bring it all to life. In this 10-part series, we sit down with members of The Bridge Theatre family including A Midsummer Night’s Dream actor David Moorst, Richard III composer Grant Olding, Props Supervisor Lily Molgaard, and choreographer — and theatre legend — Dame Arlene Phillips. You’ll hear untold stories from behind the scenes and discover what inspires the people who make The Bridge so special ... as well as some wildly creative ideas for shows that don’t exist … yet. If
