The Jungle Book Kids

Our first time working with Stagecoach Nuneaton on their end of term production of "The Jungle Book Kids".

We are looking forward to working with Steve, Mandy and the team again soon.

Time To Shine

Back for another show with Twirling Toddlers but this time at Warwick Hall. "Time to Shine" was no small undertaking, with a setlist of 25 dances technically rehearsed and performed twice in one day, expertly supported by a show team of 1stintheatre technicians.

TESTIMONIALS

"I was so impressed with the work of 1stintheatre, as were my staff team and my students. They were timely, professional and well equipped, providing us with excellent microphones and technicians, resulting in the best sound quality that we have had in a performance for years. They worked well with the students, treating them with respect and explaining the process to them, easily gaining their trust. 'Into The Woods' is a tough show and, with the help of 1stintheatre, it was a great success. Thank you!"

- Gracey Spring (Head of Drama, King Henry VIII School)

"...It was the fact we could hire support just for our busiest setup and de-rig periods, no matter what time it would be, that attracted us to 1stintheatre. The guys who have attended our shows have been fantastic...They are trustworthy, they treat equipment with respect, pleasant to be around and nothing is too much trouble. We've now started to use 1stintheatre to attend events on our behalf because we know they will deliver for us."
