Theatre is only half the story. During lockdown, Pete began hosting weekly Zoom quizzes for friends and family, which grew into live pub quizzes, race nights, discos, bingo, and wedding game hire. This natural evolution created BrightLight: Events — fun,
interactive entertainment tailored for all kinds of celebrations.
