Christine Dunstan was awarded an OAM in the 2020 Queen's Birthday Honours for Services to the Performing Arts as a Producer and as a Mentor. In 2016 Christine Dunstan was the recipient of the Sydney Theatre Critics ‘Lifetime Achievement Award'. Christine has spent 50 + years working continuously in the Australian theatre industry and is one of Australia's most experienced independent theatre producers. Commencing in 1966 as an Assistant Stage Manager at Sydney's Independent Theatre, Christine moved on to Canberra Repertory Society and then Melbourne Theatre Company, where she was the first ever female stage manager. Christine's other 'female firsts' include Stage Director at Sydney's Marian Street Theatre, Production Manager at Nimrod Theatre and Sydney Theatre Company. In 1975 she was awarded an International Theatre Institute Scholarship to observe staging techniques in Europe and North America and on her return to Australia in 1976 she founded the Stagewright Group of Companies, comprising Stagewright Constructions, Stagewright Scenery, Anthony Phillips Costumes, Donn Byrnes Lighting, Stagewright Productions and Stagewright Designs. The group was a unique concept at the time and provided entertainment and production services to the theatre, advertising and corporate industries. Stagewright quickly became the 'go to' company for technical services and Christine was engaged as Production Manager on some of the country's major productions, including the original Australian productions of 42nd Street, Anything Goes; AIDA at the Montreal Olympic and Sydney Football Stadiums, the NSW Bicentennial Royal Command Concert, the EXPO Australia Week Concerts in Japan (1985) and Brisbane (1988), as well as many others. During this time Christine was Production Manager for the Sydney Theatre Company, from 1980 until 1984. In 1990 she sold Stagewright and moved to Alice Springs to be Director and CEO of the Araluen Centre for Arts and Entertainment in Alice Springs. Returning to Sydney in 1993 she joined Barry Humphries for two years as his Production Director, and formed Christine Dunstan Productions. As a producer, Christine always strives to deliver the highest quality work which is true to the concept and which has a broad appeal to the audience. Her work includes drama, contemporary music, comedy, and family entertainment. Her productions have been seen in literally hundreds of regional centres throughout Australia as well as in every capital city. Christine's productions have also toured to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, London International Theatre Festival and to New Zealand. Christine's practical theatre knowledge was utilised by then Nimrod Theatre Company in 1976 when the former tomato sauce factory was converted to what is now the Belvoir Street Theatre. She was the Design Project Manager for the construction of the Showroom at Jupiters Casino at Queensland's Gold Coast and for the ABC TV Australian Information Media Studios in Sydney. Christine was General Manager of the annual National Performance Conferences (1999-2002) and Executive Director for the Australian Performing Arts Centres Association (2003-2008). She has sat on a number of boards, and has Chaired the Australian Theatre for Young People, Belvoir Street Theatre and the Arts Industry Training Council.

Pioneering theatre producer Nina Lee Aquino will be taking over as artistic director of the National Arts Centre's English Theatre later this year. She joins us to talk about the complex questions surrounding Canadian identity and the role theatre plays in answering them.

Melina Schein is one of those spirits that is one of a kind. Born in Argentina and raised in Manhattan, NYC, Melina moved for love to a much, much smaller town, Vernon, BC, Canada. She had left the hustle of the Big Apple as an undergraduate in voice and piano accompaniment of The Juilliard School.She is a human of many talents that go beyond (or shall we say behind) the stage. She's a proud mama to a human and to a fur baby and a Jewish cooking maven, inspired by author and chef Leah Koenig. At the beginning of the pandemic Melina was an out-of-work opera singer and decided to make the best of her time by diving into her Jewish roots and cooking through the 400+ recipes in Koenig's 2019, The Jewish Cookbook. Her alter ego? The Saucy Soprano!In addition to chatting about her multi faceted career, we share lots of laughs, Melina opens up about mental health, and we get into our commonality of being grandchildren of Holocaust survivors.This was an amazing dialogue with great takeaways for all folks, regardless their walk of life and.Melina's Links:WebsiteThe Saucy Soprano WebsiteInstagram (@thesaucysoprano)Facebook (@thesaucysoprano)Getting Jewcy Links:WebsiteWatch This Episode on YouTubeInstagram (@getting_jewcy)Facebook (@gettingjewcy)

Eric San (aka “Kid Koala”) sits down with us to talk about his take on success. He grew up both in the US and in Canada with hard-skilled, no-nonsense immigrant parents who also had an appreciation for music. They started little Eric training as a classical piano player until his piano teacher became annoyed by his experimentation with notes to spin his own musical experience. And spinning he did. Starting by using hamburger wrappers as slip sheets on his sister’s turntable as a 12 year old, Eric went on to spend his adult years touring 6 continents with big bands as a trail-blazing Scratch DJ. Eric considers himself the “ultimate dabbler”, mixing and weaving other facets of art into his universe of experiences – taking his fun when “right side and left side are wrestling”. Today, he’s also a music producer, theatre producer, film composer, multimedia-performer and visual artist. Exploring, learning and living without judgement: lessons he takes from his kids … thanks to his parents. https://kidkoala.com https://patreon.com/kidkoala twitter: @kidkoala fb: facebook.com/kidkoala IG: @realkidkoala

Sonia Friedman is one of the most prolific and successful producers in the history of the West End and Broadway. This year she has been nominated for 20 Olivier Awards, one more than she has already won. They sit like chess pieces next to the half a dozen Tony Awards she has won, in her office above the shop at the Duke of York's Theatre. In her eyrie she talks to Kirsty Lang about risk and reward, the changing ecology of theatre, how she began producing - at the age of 3- and professionally in her early 20s. She has worked with a catalogue of great actors, directors and writers on, she thinks, about 140 productions, and we hear from three of them: Tom Stoppard, Mark Rylance and Richard Eyre. But has she, the editor of The Stage newspaper muses, perhaps become too dominant? And Sonia explains why she has supported the Good Chance Theatre in the Jungle camp in Calais.Producer: Julian MayImage: Sonia Friedman Image credit: Jason Alden.
