Songs from Powertool Cheerleaders!
It’s always a juggle to work out how much of a movie to give away in advance. Do you stick all the best bits into the trailer to entice people to watch something that they will then, by definition, already have seen all the best bits of? In the case of a musical (like ours),…

Into 2025…
So, into another year already. Oh my God. We’ve changed the layout of this site a bit, as you may have noticed if you’ve been here before. A few scrappy bits of the old layout may remain; apologies if you notice them, we’ll get them sorted eventually! First big appointment of the new year is…

Powertool Cheerleaders Diary…
So, we thought we’d track the pre-production process of Powertool Cheerleaders vs the Boyband of the Screeching Dead with an online diary! The global pandemic has caused a few changes of plan, but we’re going to keep on putting the project together. Stay home and stay safe, everyone.
