This week Josh is joined by a very special guest host, Erin Coubrough. Erin has a diverse career in stage management working on drama, musicals, contemporary dance and ballet. She is also a seasonal lecturer in stage management at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts.

In Act One the hosts dive into Erin's career, and discover what the differences are between drama, musicals, contemporary dance and ballet. They discuss the importance continuing to develop your skills, and give the listeners tips and tricks of show calling and creating prompt copy.

In Act Two the question of what to do after you graduate from a uni degree/diploma is explored, with Ashleigh feeling unconfident or knowledgable enough to work in the industry yet, and Andrew unsure of the timeline of how to get to where they want to be.
