I'm an amateur actor and love to work on stage as well as back stage in amateur theatre. After taking GCSE drama and a few highly successful productions in my youth, life got in the way of acting. It took many years to establish a work life balance that allowed me to have time to return to the stage. I've now been treading the boards for the past few years with SPP Productions formerly St Paul's Players and Crowle Entertainers.

Here are some of the shows I've been involved with over the years.
