A brand new live-streamed interactive experience, Intermissions, will run online every Friday evening at 7pm from next month.

Starting on 17 July, the immensely talented Alice Fearn – in partnership with AKT London and Stage Door – will be joined by a bevy of West End stars and new graduates over the next four consecutive weeks, where you can expect live music and interviews (accompanied by Nick Barstow and directed by Kirk Jameson).

Confirmed guests for the first two episodes are Shan Ako and Sam Tutty. Ako (appearing on 17 July) has most recently been appearing as Eponine in the West End production of Les Miserables , whilst Tutty (joining on 24 July) could be seen playing the lead role in Dear Evan Hansen, a role which he has been nominated for an Olivier Award.

The show will be recorded outdoors across a three camera set-up, in accordance with social distancing regulations. Creator Alice Fearn says:

“In a time where we can’t be doing what we love, I wanted to create a space where we could keep theatre alive. Intermissions is a live gig with a difference raising money for four important causes and featuring both West End stars and new graduates who are coming out into an industry that is currently quiet. I’ll be chatting to the guests and asking them how the lockdown experience has been, we’ll have live performances and so much more. The best part? It’s all from the comfort of my garden. Theatre is something that we all feel so strongly/passionately about so I’m thrilled we can make this work and can’t wait to get started on July 17th.”

Ticket prices start at £9 with £1 from each ticket sold being donated to a different charity organisation each episode, starting with Acting For Others.

Tickets go on sale at 10am on 1 July 2020 and more information can be found at www.intermissionslive.com.
