S4Ep5 Managing Secrets at Brentwood Theatre

The Brentwood Buzz is a regular visitor to Brentwood Theatre, reporting on many of the shows put on by local theatre groups, including Shenfield Operatic Society, Brentwood Musical Theatre Society, 1:4:9 Productions and The College Players.

Last year a new manager arrived at the theatre, Jake Bedson, a professional actor, director and former Haven Holidays host. He’s helping shape the theatre’s future, and has an exciting secret project due to be revealed later this year.

The Brentwood Buzz has been to visit Jake to find out more about what is going on behind the scenes at our wonderful local theatre.
