STRAWBERRY JACK NEWS & KINO SHORTS NIGHT AT THE BLACK LION

Hi all

Four weeks and counting now to the premiere of STRAWBERRY JACK: A Tale from Paradise Heights and things are starting to fit into place...

NEW CAST MEMBER...

A huge and hearty welcome to Tales from Paradise Heights to MATT GANLEY of HAPPY STORM THEATRE http://www.happystormtheatre.co.uk/ a company that have brought some truly stunning productions to the stage over the last few years (check the link).  I've worked with Matt in the past and it's absolutley fantastic to have him onboard.  A scorching talent that is sure to leave his mark in The Heights. 

Stay tuned for more Casting News later this week...

CREW NEWS

First off I'm buzzin to have STELLA GRUNDY Assistant Directing on this, as I'm on the boards for a few scenes this time it's vital to have someone who really knows what they're doing watching you - and calling the shots. Stella knows her way around The Heights and is a fantastic director in her own right so I'm in a nice position of feeling really safe and ready to be tested as I know she takes no prisoners, and obviously Stella is also part of the cast.  

It's fantastic to have HOLLY WYATT heading up sound design.  Holly did a stunning job on THE WATCHER in an incredibly short period of time, she has a real grasp of tone and mood, I'm delighted she's now part of Paradise Heights and looking forward to working with her on many more productions.  More THE WATCHER news below...

DARREN McGINN
  
Well Darren joined us on the last run of RANK that we did at THE LOWRY.  To say he did a blinding job in terms of his designs and teching on the day is a vast understatement.

I'm honoured and delighted to be asked to do the Q&A's and interviews for this Wednesdays KINO SHORTS NIGHT in Salford.   KINO Director John Wojowski has also asked us to screen THE WATCHER: A Tale from Paradise Heights, so there will be a chance to see this Salford film in Salford.  It's a film we are all proud of and if you haven't had a chance to see it yet - this will be the last screening around Salford/Manchester for a long time, so come and check out what so many Salford/Manchester talents can do when they get together, it's the BEST time I have ever had on a film set.

There is already a packed program of stunning work from Talented Film Makers across the region and beyond, and for four quid you can watch 'em all and then ask 'em how they did it...you've got to be in it to win it - these guys are IN IT and producting some STUNNING WORK - GIVE THEM AN AUDIENCE PLEASE - feedback is the breakfast of champions...and for four quid?

...it's a deal, it's a steal, it's the sale of the fackin' Century!
