Pick 'n' Mix

Russ Pitcher

Russ has done almost everything you can in and around a stage, even singing nearly in tune! 'Much Ado..' has been an amazing experience, not just working with a great cast and crew, but learning so much from being part of the OpenStages programme. Previous roles he has enjoyed include Macbeth, Donald in 'Blue Remembered Hills' and a down-and-out muppet. Russ has a geeky IT job and lives in Fleet in an organised pile of bricks that is helping the local tradesmen weather the cutbacks.

Caroline Pitcher

Caroline has been a member of Theatre64 on and off for the last 14 years. Previous roles she has enjoyed include Ros in ‘412 Letters’, Penny in ‘Jekyll & Hyde’ and Lady Bracknell in ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’. Also a member of Fleet Rock Choir, she has sung at The Anvil, Wembley Arena, The Hexagon and LowdeFest music festival. Caroline has a part-time marketing job and a full-time family job looking after 2 girls and managing the renovation project that is their family home!

Carole Fowler

Carole has been with T64 more years than she is able or willing to remember. In thwart time she has acted, directed, stage managed, done prompt, lighting, sound, props, box office, made costume, even sung in her own fashion, painted and built scenery. All this and had fun too and intends to keep on till even further into her dotage

Gill Richardson

Gill lives in Farnborough and has been a member of Theatre64 for a while! (She thought it was ten years but it turns out it's much more than that!)She enjoys both acting and directing; although it's been a while since she was last treading the boards. As a director she has thoroughly enjoyed the whole Open Stages experience as it has been a really exciting way of approaching performance in a holistic way. The learning process has been amazing - so thank you to all involved.

Claire Barber

Claire was last seen in 'Shakers Restirred' playing the character of Adele. She has thoroughly enjoyed preparing for A Culinary Cabaret as she has a bit of a musical theatre bug and this has allowed it a bit of freedom! It has been great fun, despite the logistical issues that come with organising such a varied performance. She currently lives in Sandhurst with Jeremy (husband), Eloise (a five year old menace), Angus (a rather austere cat) and Saffy (a sock-obsessed smaller cat...)

Rebecca Slocombe

After a short break, Becky is back treading the boards with Theatre64 in another fantastic show! It has been a real privilege to be part of a play written by one of our own and it is great to be involved with the group again. Apart from trying to remember how to memorise lines (and act!), Becky has thoroughly enjoyed being on stage once more and is looking forward to being part of future shows with the wonderful Theatre64.

Pam Howard

Happy both behind the scenes and performing on stage, the prospect of taking on the role of Dogberry was too good to miss. Working with Gill and the ensemble cast in a very different way has been most enjoyable and at times stretching. When not acting, Pam can often be found rootling around in the storage container or trawling the local charity shops to track down items for costumes.

Alan Barber

Alan has been with Theatre64 for over 15 years now - and they still can't get rid of him! He has done just about everything possible both on and off stage - acting, directing, singing, lighting, sound, amongst many others. He was last seen on stage as Nigel the Viking in "A Fete Worse than Death' and is thoroughly enjoying his villainous turn as Don John!He has two daughters, Jessica and Rebecca and works as an administrator in Thames Ditton.

Robin Biggs

Being a regular theatregoer and spending too much time at home, Robin decided to join Theatre64, and his first show has been challenging and enoyable. In fact, this will be his first ever performance anywhere! Although he suffers with the dance routines, Robin hopes to be a regular face in future shows. Robin works as a business development manager and can often be found in the local area enjoying his red historic MG sports car on most sunny weekends.

Nick Felgate

Nick, an uncivil civil servant, has contributed his presence to Theatre 64 for many, many years. He lives in Portsmouth with his collection of stage properties (his furniture, crockery etc) which sometimes he is allowed to borrow back from the group! Along with many stage appearances which includes Prof. Van Helsing in 'Dracula' and the QuizMaster in 'Horst Buchholz', Nick has directed plays such as 'The Fosdyke Saga', 'The Golden Pathway Annual', and 'Our Man'.

Julia Tredwell

Julia is normally in the audience supporting Theatre 64 and not on the stage but for this production she has kindly agreed to teach us how to dance. Julia has been involved with an entertainment group in Wokingham for 30 years. During the past 10 years she produced, directed and choreographed shows at Wokingham Theatre and Bearwood College. Julia has also recently become involved with the Twyford and Wargrave Players and choreographs their annual pantomimes. Her claim to fame was her involvement with Pam another member of Theatre 64 in a show at the Albert Hall in 2001 where they met and became good friends. She managed 108 dancers from all over Britain who came together for a special one off performance – some would say she was brave others that she was mad but Julia loves to have her dancing shoes on and likes to get involved.

Nigel Slocombe

As Chairman of Theatre64, it is a real pleasure and delight to see the effort and dedication that the members put in to all of the rehearsals for this production, and the actual show itself. It is a wonderful production which I am sure each and everyone of you will thoroughly enjoy. As a bit of a hands-on person I was happy to help out with the set construction and stage management for the company. Sit back and enjoy the show.

Doug Tredwell

Doug came along to rehearsals for this show to support his wife, Julia, by playing the backing tracks to the dances. He then found himself involved in the main production. Doug has spent many years providing audio for shows from working with Julia's Entertainment productions at local theatres and with local schools in Wokingham. If it can be done with a computer then he's your man.
