Meet the Committee

Welcome to a brand-new chapter!

After spending the past year serving as Marketing Director, I’m thrilled to step into a role that lets me bring a more cohesive vision and streamlined communication to our work as Artistic Director.

Theatre has been a constant in my life. I’ve been involved in the stage on and off since I was fifteen years old, working alongside fantastic groups like AOS, DAODS, and most recently GBT. Over the years, I’ve worn almost every hat imaginable—including Marketing Director and Artistic Director—which has given me a deep appreciation for everything that happens both in front of and behind the curtain.

After directing Entertaining Mr Sloane here in March 2025, I was delighted to be co-opted onto the DLT Committee as Marketing Officer. It’s an honour to serve this wonderful community, and I’m genuinely excited to help this historic theatre continue to grow, thrive, and captivate audiences for many years to come, Now officially elected as AD.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us—stay tuned for plenty of updates, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and exciting upcoming productions!

I have been attending plays at DLT for over 20 years and am a keen fan of the theatre, both amateur and professional. As for getting involved with DLT, that happened about 13 years ago. I enjoy helping with props and greeting our customers at the bar when doing front of house. I have recently taken over the reins of House Manager, which basically means keeping everyones whistle well and truly wetted. Away from theatre, I also enjoy running, hiking and birdwatching.

Bio coming soon!

I’ve been at Droylsden Little Theatre for a very long time, and am happiest when up a ladder with an emulsion brush, preparing the set for each production. My role is a varied one: working with the Technical Director and Production Coordinator as a point of liaison for the set build crew, organising social events, hosting arts and crafts workshops, and coordinating working parties. I also contribute to fundraising efforts and bidding for grants alongside our Treasurer. Performing is not my thing, but you’ll often find me at our productions serving behind the bar, so do come and say hello if you have an idea for a social event.

I first came to DLT as a youth group member-many moons ago. I was inspired so much, that I went on to do my degree in Drama and was brought back into the fold by the late Joan Cooper, who urged me to do a play. Many plays later, I'm still part of the DLT family and I also run Manchester Theatre Academy- youth theatre- to pave the way for our next generation. Over the years I have been part of the committee in several roles- Membership Secretary, Marketing, Secretary and now as Front of House Manager. It's great to be able to put something back in to a society, from which I have taken so much pleasure being a part of. If you would like to get involved in volunteering at DLT, please do get in touch, we would love to hear from you. Without our valued volunteers, the show would not go on.

I've been involved in theatre on and off since the age of fifteen, serving with AOS, DAODS, and most recently GBT, in various roles including Marketing and Artistic Director. After directing "Entertaining Mr Sloane" here in March 2025, I’m delighted to be co-opted onto DLT’s Committee as Marketing Officer. I look forward to helping this historic theatre continue to grow, thrive, and captivate audiences for years to come.

Since stepping out on stage for the first time in 2019 I have never felt more welcome into the little family at DLT. If I am not on stage, you can more often find me backstage as Stage manager or helping with props.
I am now excited to be co-opted into production coordinator and be part of this fantastic team contributing to the theatres success behind the scenes. (and obviously the occasional centre stage too)

I’m really boring in real life so I love the drama of theatre, as I’ve been murdered several times, kidnapped, learned how to tap dance, been jilted by my fiancé, been a pink lady and a court jester, and found my long lost father. My first acting role was Mary in 1988’s production of The Nativity at St Paul’s Primary School.

I have been the DLT membership manager for over 10 years, and a member for even longer. Taking on many roles on and off stage over this time It really has been like a second family.

Bio coming soon!

I've been a member of D.L.T. since 2002 when I played Bertha Treecott in 'Accrington Pals', I must have enjoyed myself as I am still here. I have held a few posts on the committee but currently my role is that of Ticket Secretary, liaising with the public and trying to make the booking process as smooth as possible for everyone. When I'm not sat behind my box office you can still find me treading the boards though.

I’ve been the Treasurer at DLT since 2017 after many years coming to watch my lovely friend and fellow committee member, Amy, on stage. She managed to convince me to take on the role and I’ve felt like part of the DLT family ever since.

I’m a Chartered Accountant so our members can trust that I’ll look after the money and ensure everything is properly recorded. But you’ll never find me on the stage - I have recurring nightmares about this!! Instead you’ll find me volunteering front of house as often as I can.
