Stage Whispers Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/stage-whispers Stage Whispers is about what it really takes to make local theatre happen. One week that means auditions, forgotten lines and a set held together by optimism. The next it means volunteers, committee meetings and finding the money to keep the doors open. These are true stories from people who are still doing the work, including the bits that went wrong and what they taught us. No lectures. Just what actually happened.
