Acting

There’s always been something about theatre for me, and the desire to tread the boards has always been there within me… it just took me a while to pull my finger out and do it.

In early 2017, I saw a post on Facebook from a wonderful group called The Cat Lane players in Birmingham, who desperately needed a man for their upcoming production. Little did I know that the ‘man’ they were looking for was to be immediately parachuted into the lead role. Somehow, I managed to pull it out of the bag,  and with that, I very much had the bug.

After a very happy couple of years with Cat Lane, I made the move to the URC Erdington Players. I’d been lucky enough to attend some of their shows over the years and been hugely impressed with the quality of their productions. To join a group so consummate in its approach, not to mention steeped in history, has been a genuine privilege. They even convinced me do the panto. And I bloody hate panto.

Treading the boards has been one of the best, most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made. I’d heartily encourage anyone to give it a go.
