One of the things that has kept me going on this venue build has been running a Community Techs and a Teen Techs programme.

Open to anyone that wants to come, we’ve gone right from #Theatre basics - starting with #VenueHistory, moving through #Lighting, then #Sound.

This month I’m teaching the teen techs about #StageManagement - which is one of my favourite subjects to teach being a #DSM and #CSM for musicals is one of my happy places.

Club 57 at Irving Plaza
New York 1978 - 1983

Opened in 78 by the future promoters of the Peppermint Lounge, Club 57 became a premier location for punk and new wave in the city.
