In this episode, We sit down with Huddersfield’s own Martin Stead – director, performer, and now chairman of the Longwood Amateur Operatic Society. We chat about his exciting new role, his passion for the stage, and what it’s like to take the reins of such a beloved local group. Martin gives us the inside scoop on directing a double cast of talented young performers in School of Rock, and shares fond memories of past productions like Shrek and Sunset Boulevard. Plus, he teases some big shows coming up for the society that you won’t want to miss. It’s a brilliant mix of backstage stories, leadership insight, and pure am-dram enthusiasts.
