ME AND MY GIRL

Dave Hughes (Bill Snibson) is happy to be back with TEPOS for their production of Me and My Girl, he was last seen in the 2002 production of The Pajama Game. Dave has become an active member of both the Bob Hope Theatre and DAODS, giving him the chance to take up many roles including that of dressing up as a woman!! Dave has enjoyed the roll of Bill Snibson, which he has portrayed before, but is looking forwards to taking his best role to date, that of groom in his forthcoming wedding to fiancee Jane.
Suzanne Dean (Sally Smith) is now in her fourth show with TEPOS. She first hit the stage in 2001 with Oklahoma and since then has never looked back. Suzanne has performed in shows and concerts for TEPOS and Hulviz OS. Her roles include Milli (Summer Song), Rose (Meet Me in St Louis), Chava (Fiddler on the Roof) and Poppy, the saucy soubrette in last year's The End of the Pier Show. Suzanne is thrilled to be playing Sally in Me and My Girl. She says it's her dream role and has no hesitation in talking right cockney!!
Marina Dodd (Maria, Duchess of Dene) first performed with TEPOS in Trial by Jury and HMS Pinafore in 1982. She was taught by Welsh international Iona Jones and studied music at Goldsmith's College. Marina sings with Kentish Opera and turns her voice to anything from opera to pop. Currently rehearsing for an April production of Carmen with Erith OS, Marina is pleased to be back with TEPOS after several years absence.
Bud Abbott (Sir John Tremayne) appeared in his first show with TEPOS, Merrie England, back in 1971. He has been associated with the company ever since then, either back stage or as 'front of houe'. It has given him much pleasure over the years and he thoroughly recommends the involvement as rewarding.
Carol Mitchell (Lady Jacqueline Carstone) has relished the opportunity to get into the character of the vampish Lady Jaquie as a refreshing change from her more recent role of yummy mummy at home! She is particularly pleased to be performing with TEPOS again, with whom she played man eating Mae in The Pajama Game in 2002, but is secretly alarmed at being typecast. Other previous roles include Tzeitel (Fiddler on the Roof) and Sylvia (Annie Get Your Gun). She has enjoyed dancing in the big open-air extravaganza Music of the Nights both in Wollwich and Plymouth.
Christopher Betterton (The Hon Gerald Bolingbroke) joined TEPOS in 1995 after a year celebrating Blackheath's Concert Hall's Centenary in HMS Pinafore and Iolanthe. His first TEPOS role was the Heavenly Friend in Carousel, which was a non-singing part but he didn't take the hint. Subsequent roles include Freddy (My Fair Lady), Prez (The Pajama Game), Strephon (Iolanthe) and with Sidcup OS, Tommy (Brigadoon). Christopher would like to point out that once again he has been cast against type - as most of the roles he is plaing yet another spoilt brat!
William Fletcher (Herbert Parchester) has been a member of TEPOS since fiddling on the roof as a beggar back in 1989. He has played a number of roles since then including Mr Snow (Carousel), Cyril (Princess Ida), Dr Daly (The Sorcerer) and Wally Mason in last year's production of The End of the Pier Show.
William Christmas (Sir Jasper Tring) trained at Goldsmith's College, appearing in everything from French farce to Greek tragedy. Subsequently transferred to the musical theatre he took roles in Oliver, Annie, Half a Sixpence, Summer Song et al. His favourite role is Colonel Pickering in My Fair Ladywhich he has reprised several times. Now celebrating over 50 years as a performer by giving talks on theatre and travel, his second hobby.
Conrad Simpson (Charles the Butler) made his debut with TEPOS in he 2003 production of Iolanthe and has been an active member since, including playing Reg in The End of the Pier Show last year. Playing Charles sees him returning to the role of butler, the first being in a production of Annie.
Dave Adams (Private Willis) joined TEPOS for its 2001 production of the Mikado and appeared as Mr Hasler in The Pajama Game and was delighted to play Private Willis in our production of Iolanthe, his first solo singing part. David is a long serving member of St Martin's Players in Barnehurst.
Marion Terry (Lady Battersby) has been involved with many operatic societies, playing Elsa Schraeder in the Sound of Music, Widow Corny in Oliver, Fruma Sarah in Fiddler on the Roof and Mrs Higgins in My Fair Lady. She also sung the part of Dolly in Hello Dolly in the open air extravaganza Musical Nights. Marion also sings in concerts throughout the area.
