More news now…

In accordance with my beliefs in supporting and indeed encouraging the creativity and development of young people, I’d like to introduce you to Peter Williams and Tom Fidler.

Peter will be spending time during the summer assisting me and helping to build my playwright profile online in an effort to give PAFoster-Playwright a wider following and Tom will be helping me to organise things whilst out and about.

Peter is a member of the Riverside Youth Theatre and has always enjoyed writing and film-making and now maintains a weekly vlog too. He asked me a month or two back if he could shadow me and help out a couple of times during the summer to which I readily agreed.

Tom too is a keen actor at Riverside and a developing playwright in his own right who has always been keen to learn what he can from me. He has often joked about being my PA when I get to be a ‘celebrity’ and we are always making in-jokes about this. (The name PAFidler being one of them!) Recently though, he has become quite serious about it and has asked to help out too.

Spaceboy was a huge success and I am pleased that both of them saw the production and were equally as amazed with it as I was.

I think they were so totally bowled over by their experience that they have both been very keen to do more for me and help out wherever they can in an effort to learn more about the life of a playwright.

And as this fits in with my policy of helping young people to achieve all they can in this world, I’ve decided to take them both on as ‘Summer Interns’ and given them each important responsibilities, an real things to do in a mutually beneficial arrangement.

So I am pleased to tell you that Pete will now be my Publicity Officer (PO) and Tom will be my Personal Assistant (PA).

There is going to be a lot happening this summer, including a rehearsed reading of my new play, and I am going to need all the help I can get!

Pete will be responsible for upping my profile on the web. I am pleased to say he has already created a ‘PAFoster-Playwright’ YouTube account and will be uploading various short films he’ll be making about what is happening in the world of PAFoster- Playwright, including interviews, rehearsal footage, performance footage etc. Pete will be writing too; reviews, blog posts, and anything else that may come to mind.

Tom will be responsible for getting me organised when I’m directing/rehearsing or having a play reading or whilst working any other projects, of which there will be quite a few over the summer.

Both Pete and Tom will have access to my blog, (where their names will show as the author of any post they write and publish) access to my facebook fan page, where they be able to update the status and post things there too like photos or videos, and also access to the @PAFoster twitter account where both will be able to tweet on my behalf too.

If Tom tweets it will have *TF at he end of the tweet and if Pete tweets it will have *PW so you will know who’s tweeting based on their initials. I’ll tweet with *PAF so you know it’s me.

So, over to you Pete and Tom! And welcome to the world of PAFoster the Playwright.
