Erin Quilliam
Erin is thrilled to be a part of 'Culinary Cabaret', and is enjoying the show hugely. This production also marks her first year as a member of Theatre64! Seen haunting theatres or rehearsing for one show or another, she's also preparing to audition over the next few months to study drama at university.
Isaac Powell
Hi, I’m Isaac, I am 17, studying drama at college and loving it. I am really excited to play Amir in ‘The Ash Girl’ as it is a unique role and a new challenge for me. I have been involved in several shows for my college such as ‘Grease’ and ‘Oklahoma’, I played Chino in ‘West Side Story’ and I am currently rehearsing as Pop for ‘We Will Rock You’. I have also been involved in 3 national dance competitions.
Outside of Drama I am very active, and cycle pretty much everywhere
Mike Hills
Mike has been a member of Theatre64 for too long to count. His theatrical odyssey began in Bugsy Malone at the age of 14 in school, then exhibited itself in Woking, Bath and Kuwait before he joined Theatre64. He has undertaken acting, directing and writing roles with the group and is close to notching up his 60th role! He is aided and abetted in this by a long suffering wife and two very active boys (see smaller members of the cast). He would usually mention Fulham as well but its just too depressing at the moment. The Aardvark is in rehab.
Natalie Cook
Natalie joined Theatre64 last year for 'The Ash Girl', saying that she "could only do one play". However, despite her constant protestations that she is far too busy as a Teaching Assistant/Single Mum/OU Student to be involved in another production, she is always the first to audition for "just one more play"! It would be tempting to put this down to a burning desire to develop her acting skills but, if pressed, she'll admit that it has more to do with the friends she has made in the group, T64's social events and Ellen's cupcakes!
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
Leah Hanmore
Leah is currently studying Drama in her third and final year at University. She has been with the group for three years and intends to be with the group a while longer. Leah has had some fantastic experiences with the group, including taking part in productions such as 'The Ash Girl', 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' and 'A Fete Worse Than Death'. She has enjoyed working with all the members and has made some life-long friends. She also hopes that everybody enjoys the performance of 'Much Ado About Nothing'!
Rachel Lawson
Rachel lives locally and works in Communications and PR. She joined Theatre64 in 2011 for the production of 'The Ash Girl'. This is Rachel's second production with the group and she hopes you all enjoy the show!
Ellen Kilvington
Ellen has been a member of Theatre64 since 2008 when she played Granny Weatherwax in Terry Pratchett's 'Wyrd Sisters'. Since then she has performed a variety of roles in the group, both onstage and off, ranging from running lights and being Producer, to characters such as Sheila Birling in 'An Inspector Calls' and Nicky in 'Shakers Restirred'.
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.
Haydn Thomas
Haydn works for a local manufacturer of filtration equipment and has been a member of Theatre64 since 1998. During this time his involvement with the group has been both on stage and behind the scenes where he has been perfecting his tea-making skills. He also likes to get involved with the pantomime at High Cross Church, Camberley.
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'.
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.
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.
Steffen Zschaler
Steffen joined the group for 'Ash Girl'. He started amateur theatre in Germany when he was 12 and has since enjoyed every aspect of it from acting, singing, lighting, to directing; sometimes simultaneously. Previous roles included Barney in 'The Last of the Red Hot Lovers' and Siegfried in 'Hagen'. He has also enjoyed directing, most notably 'Waiting for Godot', and 'Shakers' with Theatre 64. During the day Steffen is a lecturer in Informatics at King's College London.
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.
Becky Slocombe
Having started a new job in London, Rebecca has found that being part of Ashgirl has been a welcome break from all the commuting! Its been fantastic to work with so many new members and see the group grow. Ashgirl is a great adaptation of a classic fairy tale and Rebecca has loved being a part of it! Enjoy the show!
Thomas Hills
Thomas Hills. This will be the second time Thomas has taken to the stage with T64, previously he appeared as a fairy mouse in The Ash Girl. He also has a deep and abiding love of trains, Lego Star Wars and the television (from which it can be hard to part him). He puts his acting skills to good use, able to convince teachers and many adults that he is desperately injured at the slightest touch.
Sevie Fowler
Sevie is here because Grandma thought she would be a good mouse, although she is not known for her quietness. Sevie appeared in 'Grease' last year with the Imagination 1 week Workshop and is a member of Spotlight Dance Academy, Brownies and Fox Gymnastics and when she has time from all these activities goes to Lakeside Primary School and is part of the netball team. She would like to take part in more amateur dramatics like her grandma.
