'You start when the queen is ready and the vibes are right'
Check out my episode of 'Whispers in the Wings' with host Joshua Broadbent
Join Josh as he chats with stage manager Caitie Murphy, who swears drag shows are “held together with gaff tape and prayer,” and whose work spans theatre, opera and the glitter-filled world of drag.
Caitie shares her journey from studying music to calling operas and managing the beautiful chaos of drag shows. She opens up about the realities of working in nightlife venues, the importance of safety and boundaries, and how her love of music and theatre collide in unexpected ways.
In this episode, we discuss what it’s like to manage shows that thrive on improvisation, the challenges of working in non-traditional spaces, the overlap between drag and theatre, and how to protect your wellbeing while keeping the show running smoothly.
