CHAZ WEBB
I am a freelance Stage and Production Manager with a wide range of skills. Experienced in lighting, sound and projection, my favourite part of stage management remains a good risk assessment. So far I have specialised in Theatre for Young Audiences, Fringe theatre and queer theatre, but I am interested in any show that presents a challenge, particularly technically. To support my work in these areas I have an Emergency First Aid at Work certification, Enhanced DBS and several NSPCC Safeguarding certifications.

UPCOMING PRODUCTIONS
Club Origami
Rip, fold and scrumple!
Shall we see what we can make with a single square of paper?
As you scrunch the paper, see how your imagination begins to dance...
Dive into the magical world of Club Origami, an immersive and interactive dance show inviting family audiences to create, imagine and explore whole new ways of thinking, playing and moving. Dance, fashion and live music meet the magic of origami to sweep us up on a spirited and inspiring adventure in a land made purely of paper and play.
Katzenmusik
katzenmusik (German, n.) - caterwaul; a shrill howling or wailing noise (of a cat).
A viral video; a company capitalising on fear; prank calls; class divide; and a cat memorial.
The ever-increasing income gap between the rich and the poor has pushed the residents of Burnside Town to lose all trust in the world, but what happens when a community truly reaches breaking point?
A dark, comic story about social inequality and upheaval, katzenmusik questions how we fight for justice when those most at risk fall through the cracks...
Blood Wedding
“I tell you this… blood will flow before this day is over”
A cautionary tale about the danger of clinging to tradition at the expense of personal desire, Blood Wedding presents a world where ‘old ways’ collide with new passions; the past refuses to loosen its grip; and no one escapes its consequences.
Integrating live music, Lorca's classic tale of longing and revenge is presented in an epic re-imagining.
The Secret Garden
🦋 All gardens hold secrets.
Mary arrives at Mistlethwaite Manor to find a world sealed shut: the house is silent, the people distant, the gardens locked and forgotten. Mary is no ordinary girl. Forthright and fiercely curious, she’s determined to uncover the secrets hidden behind every door...
This bold new commission reimagines Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved classic for today’s audiences, holding onto the wonder and mystery of the original while speaking to a new generation.
Written by Tom Wentworth (Little Bits of Ruined Beauty (Pentabus), Ralph and Katie, (BBC One) and When I Fall (BBC Radio 4, directed by Stephanie Kempson (Winner of a Fringe First 2022) and with music and sound by Ben Osborn (winner of the Cameron Mackintosh Award), expect music, magic and a beautiful celebration of nature and childhood as The Egg becomes a living, breathing Secret Garden — a place to sit, dream, and discover.
The Witch & The Whistleblower
The year is 1597. A woman is accused of being a witch. She can save herself, but only by condemning others.
The year is 1597. A community is crumbling. Neighbour turns on neighbour. A town turns on itself.
The year is 1597. A man plays god with a lie. A woman fights back with the truth.
A new folk musical inspired by the true story of Marion Walker and Margaret Aitken, in a time when gossip can kill, whispers become poisonous and speculation becomes a sentence.
The fate of the town lies in the balance, but who will get the final word…the witch or the whistleblower?
Replica
“What I'm saying is that she's been replaced. She is not the same... the same... I don't want to use the word person - because she's not."
Something happened on the school trip. At least that’s what everyone’s saying. Once a rumour starts, it can be difficult to remember what is real – or who. Convinced that there is an impostor walking among them, a group of teenagers is determined to root out the intruder.
Replica is a mystery exploring friendship, the nature of truth, and humanity. When your identity is at stake, how do you prove that you are human?
Urinetown
"You lied to us, Cladwell! You told us one thing, and then you did another!"
Welcome to Urinetown, a place where the only certainty is that you will pay for the right to pee. In a world wracked by ecological disaster, water has become scarce, and a greedy corporation is profiting off humanity's most basic biological need.
A grand, mischievous love letter to the conventions of musical theatre, this Tony Award-winning musical comedy is packed with outrageous characters, catchy songs, and laugh-out-loud chaos.
Hold on to your bladders! As the stakes get high, a hopeful rebellion from the people is on the rise...
