The answers to today’s Strands game number 849 are…

- PRODUCER

- SPANGRAM: THAT SHOWBIZ

There was no mystery to today’s quest, although I was hoping to find Lights and Camera somewhere in the game.
Instead, the game ended up being a broader vision, with ThatSSHOWBIZ covering both stage and screen (both small and large) and the various roles that make up a production.
We could have added “public”, I suppose, since without that it doesn’t make much sense, although I know from a relative who works in a movie theater that even if no one shows up, they still show the movie just as if it were full, since everyone is set by a program at the beginning of each day.
