This is a love letter to the War Hero crew. Thank you so much for your blood, sweat and tears. So many of these roles happen quietly backstage or in the weeks beforehand but are a huge time commitment, labour of love and completely integral to bringing this special story to life. Thank you ♥️

This is a Micaela Craven appreciation post 💛

Micaela has been incredible from the very beginning of the War Hero process prompting and attending every rehearsal. She is also now steering the ship as the stage manager. Micaela has consistently gone above and beyond, keeps everything running smoothly, and looks after the cast and crew. We’ve been so lucky to have you on board Micaela!

“The production is confidently directed, with Murray Lynch drawing excellent performances from his cast while trusting the audience to use their imagination to fill in locations and transitions. Only the actor playing Baxter, Daniel McClymont, remains in character throughout. The other four actors, Zachary Klein, Tom Kereama, Phil Peleton, and Martin Tidy take on multiple roles, shifting physicality and vocal quality so each character is distinct. It is expertly executed.” - Neil Brewer, Broadway World

We’re so lucky to have the phenomenal Chris Ward and Mike Slater onboard for War Hero.

“The production’s technical craft is exceptional.”
“Chris Ward’s sound design layers birdsong, machinery, music, and voiceover into a vivid sonic landscape that feels cinematic, making the space feel full and grounded in reality without overwhelming the stage.”
“Mike Slater’s lighting design is equally assured: stark spotlights, darkness, haze, and textured slats create images that linger long after the show ends, particularly during the harrowing ‘Field Punishment No. 1’ scenes.” - Stanford Reynolds, Regional News
