Hello Greg,
A bit 'unrelated to usernames', but The Scarlet Pimpernel brings back great memories for me, around 4 years ago I was cast to play 'Robespierre' in a youth production of the show. Although the show used young actors aged 15-25 it still contained the original songs and cost many thousands of pounds to create the costumes, special effects, lighting, sound and had a live orchestral band. It taught me a lot about the pressures of stage acting, working in an acting team, keeping calm when all eyes are on you, and how much 'hidden' effort goes into the smooth running of productions from the stage-crew, front-of-house, sound technicians and the costume designers working flat-out during the production.
A lot of people don't appreciate live acting, but I completely understand your passion for it having been through a week of nervousness lol, but when I look back at photos etc, it just seems unbelievable how I managed it haha!!
So... Neat new username haha!
