Information: My brother was already in the company and he had said it was great and had already made friends. I went to help out on a distribution day with him and enjoyed it so much I decided to go to the summer school. After that I decided to join Stage2 and took part in the devised show ICE. It was great to start with a devised show because there is a lot of thinking involved but the actions and lines were decided by us so they were easy to remember. Then I decide to be in the main house production of Teechers – which I was a minor in. As it was my first show on a proper stage it was very nerve racking but I really enjoyed the experience; at times it was hard work particularly memorising the stylised tennis scene but it was worth all the effort. I loved being in productions so much that I took part in Lord of the Flies. It was a very different type of show than the previous two that I had done as they were both comedies but it meant I could learn new skills and I enjoyed just as much as Teechers and ICE. That term I decided to audition for Spoonface Steinberg; there was no chorus in the play so I really wanted to get a part. The audition wasn't as tense as I had expected but I was still really scared. I was really happy when I got a cast part out of so many fantastic auditions. Spoonface has been such an enjoyable term and I have learnt even more about stylised theatre because of it. Now I am really looking forward to production week to show all the hard work and effort that we've put in.

 

However many times I see this ever changing young company, I am amazed by the wealth of talent that Director Liz Light contrives to fashion.
