I’m very excited to announce the return of “In The Theatre”, the podcast for Theatre BC and all community theatre enthusiasts. And who better to kick off Season 2 of the show than with Michael Armstrong, Theatre BC’s adjudicator for Mainstage 2016.

In this episode, we catch up with Michael after our first two chats together a couple of years ago, and do some follow-up. Then we preview the plays being performed at Mainstage this year, which starts July 2, 2016 in Chilliwack – links below.

After that, we talk about the Playwriting Competition and play readings, the workshops being offered and we mention the important meetings of Theatre BC. Rounding out the show, Michael offers a couple of tips for performing at Mainstage.
