- Casting is slowly commencing! We have a massive list of parts available, and are at present jiggling with names and ideas of who for what part...
- We're getting ready to open the UK wide BBC WW tour of 'Tweenies, Top of the Tots'. WISH are general managers for the BBC WW tour for the third year, and this year the schedule is more hectic than ever.
