It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our wonderful Musical Director, Frances Webb.
As Musical Director, Frances was the heartbeat of BEES for many years. It was through her incredible talent and vision that we were brave enough to first use live music and grow into the musical theatre company we are today.
Frances was a brilliant teacher, a cherished team member, and a much-loved friend. We owe so much of our success and spirit to her.
Frances, thank you for the music and for the beautiful legacy you’ve left behind. You are missed beyond words.
