Quirky Backstage Moments




This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on March 25, 2023. It features the talented actor Isak Bendelin backstage stage left, dressed in a tuxedo and holding up table lamps as if they were his eyes, making him look like a quirky bug. This moment was captured during the run of the musical *Tootsie* at the theatre. 


Isak Bendelin grew up on Gotland and was an early member of Gotlands Musikalkompani, playing lead roles in several musicals. He trained at the Balettakademien in Gothenburg and has since appeared in numerous productions across the country. He has starred in *Les Misérables* at Wermland Opera and Smålands Musik och Teater, where he played both the innkeeper Thénardier and the student Grantaire. At Wermland Opera, he also appeared in *Something Rotten!* and *Shrek the Musical*.


Isak has also portrayed Mark in *Rent* at Kristianstad Teater, Mattis in *Ronja Rövardotter* at Astrid Lindgren's World, and participated in the Copenhagen production of *Beauty and the Beast* at Det Ny Teater. Most recently, he was seen as Pastor Ed Parsley in *The Witches of Eastwick* at Cirkus in Stockholm. During the 2022/23 season, he performed in Malmö Opera's production of *Så som i himmelen*.


This photo perfectly captures Isak's playful personality and the fun atmosphere backstage. Holding up those lamps and posing like a bug was such a spontaneous and hilarious moment that it still makes me smile. 


The background setting of a bustling backstage during a theatre production adds to the charm of this snapshot. It’s a reminder of the lighthearted moments that make working in theatre so special. Sharing this photo brings back fond memories of the laughter and camaraderie we experienced during the production of *Tootsie*.
