New series celebrating theatre’s unsung heroes to launch on Theatre Channel
Theatre Channel has unveiled its upcoming original docuseries, In The Wings, a heartfelt celebration of the extraordinary individuals whose work brings theatre to life from behind the scenes.
Produced by theatre critic and influencer Mickey Jo Boucher and sponsored by Trafalgar Entertainment, In The Wings will be available to stream worldwide, for free, exclusively on Theatre Channel.
While actors and performers often bask in the spotlight, every production is powered by a dedicated team of creatives, technicians, strategists, and specialists whose names may never appear on a marquee but without whom, the curtain wouldn’t rise.
In The Wings shines a spotlight on these essential roles, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into the work, passion, and precision behind the curtain.
Featured in the series are photographer Danny Kaan, stage manager Debra Tidd, social media strategist Eleni Cashell, fight and intimacy director Haruka Kuroda, illusion designer John Bulleid, front of house Nadine Grey, graphic designer Rebecca Pitt, swing and dance captain Sarah Lark, and injury prevention consultant Tome Levi.
In The Wings is not just a behind-the-scenes series. It is a love letter to the wider theatre community. It celebrates the whole ecosystem that makes live performance possible and reminds audiences of the countless hands that contribute to every standing ovation.
Managing Director and Co-founder for Theatre Channel, Chris Wheeler, said: "At Theatre Channel, we believe every story told on stage is powered by countless untold stories behind it. With In The Wings, we’re shining a light on the extraordinary people whose talent, skill, and dedication make theatre possible. We hope this series inspires audiences and future generations alike to appreciate and celebrate the entire ecosystem that brings the magic of live performance to life."
In The Wings can be watched for free on Theatre Channel from 18 July.
