The Grad Fest offer performance opportunities, industry Q&As and workshops whilst connecting graduates to industry professionals. Their mission is to “expose and encourage current theatre graduates to transition into our industry, straight from college, whilst giving them a platform to become their own product within this business.” They are incredibly inspirational when it comes to taking matters into your own hands and striving for your own personal, creative endeavours to produce something amazing and absolutely necessary.You can find The Grad Fest on Instagram and Twitter @thegradfest.Liam Gartland-@_liamgartland on Instagram and Twitter.Liam's Independant production company @gartlandproductions on Instagram and @gartlandprod on Twitter.Alice Croft- @alicerosecroft on Instagram and Twitter.I am super excited to be hosting part of 'Graduates at Cadogan Hall' which starts on the 26th March!

Our first collab! In this episode, we get to know the brains behind The Open House Podcast, Clancy Ryan and Melissa Lowe. Make sure you go and check out their podcast on Spotify, Apple all major streaming platforms-'Open House is the podcast all about having difficult conversations! Housemates, Clancy Ryan and Mel Lowe, know first hand that the oh so British mentality of sweeping problems under the rug doesn’t do anyone any good, so instead they've decided to broadcast them on the internet (how very millennial). Each week they speak to a notable guest as they spill the the tea on times they’ve found talking about a problem about as tough as getting on the London property ladder. From microagressions to break ups, coming out stories to work drama, Open House takes an unflinching look at chats that are hard to broach and even harder to navigate.'
