Helen appeared with us at the age of 10, initially as a Jason Kid and more recently as principal dancer. She played Tzeitel in our Fiddler On The Roof and Frenchie in a professional production of Grease and has taught musical theatre in America. As well as being her biggest part to date, Calamity is a character she really loves. Jeff was a founder member of the former Tanglewood Theatre Company in Enfield, where he acted in or directed a number of productions, taking lead roles in a diverse range of shows including Bouncers, Equus, Dick Whittington and Little Shop of Horrors. He joined the chorus for our own Dick Whittington in January and we are pleased to welcome him for his first major role here as Wild Bill.

Sarah has been with us since South Pacific, appearing in the pantomimes Aladdin, Scrooge, Jack and the Beanstalk and as Chava in Fiddler On The Roof, returning to panto this year as Alice in Dick Whittington. A former member of our Young Set, she recently gained a BA Hons in Performing Arts in Buckinghamshire where she appeared in The Wiz, Sweet Charity and Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens. Euan has worked onstage and backstage with theatre companies in Scotland, playing the parts of Adam in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Chino in West Side Story and Fyedka in Fiddler On The Roof. In July his work as an IT consultant brought him to Hertfordshire where he quickly fitted into the local scene. He has appeared in chorus with Hertford Dramatic & Operatic Society and is a member of Broxbourne Blades fencing club. Danny will be his first principal part south of the border.

Ruth has appeared in the chorus of every show since Scrooge, also playing Pearly Queen in Me and My Girl, Shandel in Fiddler On The Roof and Mrs Hopkins in My Fair Lady. Paul has appeared as Gerald in Me and My Girl, Perchik in Fiddler On The Roof, Freddy in My Fair Lady and several comedy parts in pantomimes.

Mike is very much looking forward to his first show with Broxbourne Theatre Company. Favourite appearances in 14 years as performer, director or choreographer have been Eric 'Rubber Legs' Devine in Slice of Saturday Night, Dr Whackoff in Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens, Prince Nikki in My One and Only, Professor Higgins in My Fair Lady and Harold in The Full Monty. He studied Movement Studies at university and was a teacher for seven years. Now running his own company, musical theatre affords him welcome diversions and challenges. This year, that has included a pantomime Hamalot, Thoroughly Modern Millie and South Pacific. After Calamity Jane will be the reprise of The Full Monty in August at the Edinburgh Festival. Susan is a former member of our Young Set. She has appeared as Gertie in Oklahoma, Prince Rupert in Sleeping Beauty, a servant in My Fair Lady and in the chorus of many of our other shows.
