Interviews......
We thought you might want to hear from some of the team at BYP, the ones that make it all happen and without them BYP wouldn't happen, here's what they have to say:
Mike Goom, Secretary
Hi I'm Mike Goom and I have been involved with amateur theatre since I was Scouting in Maidenhead, over 40 years. Most of that time, it has been through Gang Shows.
 
Steve and I have worked together as SM and DSM for various groups around Berkshire, but when the Reading Gang Show ceased to be, he invited various people to join him in a new venture - hence BYP (Behind You Productions) was born.
 
I became the Secretary and have enjoyed the many and varied challenges that BYP have given me over the last seven years.
 
It has become quite a family affair with my wife, Jane, continuing her Gang Show role of Props Manager with BYP and my youngest daughter, Emily, using her creative talents in design/painting stage scenery, face painting for Panto's as well as occasionally on stage.
 
We consider BYP to be one big family where we can help those who want to join us, to learn the skills needed in all area's of the amateur theatre and we look forward to the new challenges being part of a vibrant organisation brings - long may BYP encourage those who wish to tread the boards, light the stars, ring the bell or just enjoy being part of theatre!!!
 
Steve Gill, Chairman
A close group of my friends and I formed BYP after Reading Scout and Guide Gang Show closed down in 1999. We have since performed at least 2 shows a year and have received many fantastic comments and reviews for our shows.

We are lucky to have on our books 150 plus people ranging from our young 10-12 year olds to the older age of 55 years and more.

Everyone of them has worked very hard and have shown a great deal of dedication and professionalism. They have preformed some wonderful shows and I am proud to be able to call each and everyone one of them my friends.

If you would like to join us but you feel that you have no particular talent, don’t worry just come along. We are lucky to have Pam and Richard, without whom, we would not be where we are today. They will teach you everything, song dance acting everything to make you shine.

We have become an extended family who have some wonderful times together both on and off stage, So contact us if you would like to join in
