A video by technician Leah Fry, filmed at Lighthouse Poole, showing a screw being mounted, went viral on TikTok after being shared by Ed Sheeran, garnering over 2.8 million views. This prompted Fry and Senior Technician Sam Coombs to launch Lighthouse TekTok, a behind-the-scenes account showcasing technical theatre. The account, aimed at engaging young audiences, features time-lapse setups and other theatre insights and has accumulated 264 followers and 208,000 views. Both technicians intend to demystify technical theatre and inspire interest in its often-overlooked aspects.
