Cathy joined in
November 2001 and mainly worked behind the scenes doing props. She
still helps with props in many of the productions. Her biggest
challenge was when she helped with the production of
Home before Dark. The scene changes
were all done with the curtains open (often in the dark). There was a
lot of heavy carrying to be done and with a cast of young members to
keep under control, it was quite a task. Cathy can also often be seen
selling programmes or ice creams front of house.
Cathy’s debut
performance was in Dead Ringer as the Prime
Minister's secretary. In that production, her "professionalism" was
tested when on one of the nights the gun which was supposed to shoot her
dead, did not go off. She was left to ad lib until the sound team were
able to provide the appropriate "shot". Unfortunately for Cathy, when
the gun did sound out, it left a bemused audience watching her acting
out her character's last few seconds to the sound of a buzzer.
Nevertheless,
this did not put Cathy off. She has since been seen on stage as an
elderly American lady in The Lights are
Warm and Coloured, a school girl in
Daisy Pulls it Off and more recently as a member of a slimming club
in Love me Slender.
