The Theatre Thoughts Podcast

By: Justin Clarke
  • Summary

  • https://linktr.ee/ttpodcast The Theatre Thoughts Podcast began in November 2021 as an accompaniment to the Theatre Thoughts Australia website. Our past guests include the likes of Stephen Schwartz (Wicked), Leanne Cope (An American in Paris), Vidya Makan & Kala Gare (SIX the Musical), Yve Blake (Fangirls), Blake Appelqvist (& Juliet, Fangirls) and comedy duo Mel and Sam (Sh*t Wrecked, Not Hat, Not Play The Cabaret, High Pony). The purpose of the Theatre Thoughts Podcast is to bring conversations with the artists and creatives in all facets of the theatre industry to the ears of our listeners. We focus on, and promote, those who are changing the landscape of theatre, and cutting out a slice of the theatre scene to share their story. About the Host Justin (he/him) is a writer, teacher, actor and tour guide. Raised in Western Sydney, he always had an avid love for theatre and the spontaneous. Justin has developed his writing for publishers such as Theatre People and ArtsHub before establishing his own theatrically focused business, Theatre Thoughts. His past theatre credits include directing Stiles and Drew’s Soho Cinders, the ‘brave’ Sir Robin in Spamalot for Arcadians Theatre and the French Taunter/Tim in Spamalot for Springers UK, ensemble in Footloose and Pirates of Penzance and his debut role as Muldoon in Jurassic: That is One Big Pile of Musical which took out the audience favourite award in the Sydney Fringe Festival 2015. As the years have gone by, Justin has taken a great interest in swallowing as much theatre as he can and bringing it to the masses through the establishment of the Theatre Thoughts brand and developing the voice of artists from across the independent and professional sectors.
