Louise Dearman
Musical theatre performers Louise Dearman (Wicked, Guys and Dolls, Evita) and Mark Evans (The Book of Mormon, Ghost, Oklahoma!) are asking for their fans’ help to write a new book, The Secrets of Stage Success.
The book, a guide for those who want to follow in the footsteps of Louise Dearman and Mark Evans and develop their own careers as performers, will answer questions submitted by the public on a wide range of theatre topics. It will be published by leading theatre publisher Nick Hern Books in 2014.
Questions can be submitted via a dedicated website, www.secretsofstagesuccess.com, until 14 October 2013. They can be about any stage-related topic – whether it’s applying to drama school, succeeding at auditions, how to overcome stage-fright, a specific highlight of Dearman and Evans’ careers, or something else entirely. All queries included in the final book will be printed with the name of the person who asked the question.
Everyone who submits a question will be entered into a draw to win prizes, including tickets to see Dearman and Evans live on stage, and will also receive a special thank you letter from the authors.
Mark Evans
Dearman and Evans said: “We knew we wanted to write something that would be genuinely helpful for aspiring performers and people who want to work in showbusiness. Which is why we want their questions, so that we can write something really useful for them.
“Over the years we’ve picked up lots of tips from other performers, and have developed our own strategies and solutions too. Now we want to pass on what we’ve learnt. We want to cover all aspects of working in the theatre industry, and hope to answer questions on lots of different topics.”
Matt Applewhite, managing director of Nick Hern Books, said: “We’re delighted to be publishing our first crowd-sourced book. The opportunity to reach out directly to our readers and let them have a hand in guiding this project is an exciting one, and we’re eager to see the results. Louise and Mark are much loved as performers, and we hope all of their many fans take this chance to collaborate with them on the book.”
