'You've heard of several kinds of cat, and my opinion now is that you should need no interpreter to understand our character, you've learned enough to take the view that cats are very much like you, you've seen us both at work and games and learnt about our proper names, our habits and our habitat, but how would you ad-dress a cat?'

I've learned a lot since I first starting visiting the stage door, and the At The Stage Door website is not only for sharing my stage door stories but also for helping others make stories of their own - if anyone else would like to find magic at matinees and discover the secret world of the stage door, then hopefully something in this little guide to stage dooring can help make that as easy at possible. Whether you're interested in knowing my thoughts on theatres and tours and outfit planning, simply looking for a good pre-show song recommendation or wanting to know how to find your favourite performer at stage door and get your programme signed, it all should be covered in the Stage Door Handbook.
