Being a producer at @edfringe involves networking, flyering and frantically drying your actors' costumes with a hairdryer before the show because you can't tumble dry them #edfringe #edfringe2024

Not only does this make FOH staff jobs harder, it also perpetuates this idea that performing is easy! You can do it right from your seat in the audience! It doesn’t take hard work + training + therefore doesn’t deserve any respect. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Ffs don’t we know better than this by now?
Should people be allowed to sing at theatres? 🎭 After one theatre in Manchester banned audiences from singing along, @VanessaOnAir has her say...
