Welcome to "Friday Q & A"!
This is a series we will be running at the end of every week for the rest of the tour where we interview the people involved in bringing "Magical Mystery Munsch" to life onstage!
We'll kick off this series with a quick interview with our Director Arne MacPherson!

1. Describe your job as a director.
I help the actors figure out what will make kids laugh
2. You've been involved with Munsch shows at PTE for 10 years now, what keeps you coming back year after year?
Its the most fun I have as a director.
3. You've also been an actor on school tours, how does this help you direct Munsch shows?
I remember how hard it was, so I remind myself of Gillam at 9:00 a.m., when I am asking actors to do handstands or carry each other around.
Just to give you an idea where Gillam, Manitoba is...
4. What's your favourite Robert Munsch book and why?
Thats a hard one...whichever one was the most surprisingly delightful to stage on the most recent show: in this case: Look At Me.
Thanks Arne!
-Lisa, Stage Manager
