She enjoys spending time with her friends and looking after her guinea pigs, is a superwho/lock fanatic and loves to read.

13.01.2022 A large crowd of family, friends and thespians gathered to celebrate the life of Bernie 'the Bishop' Doyle. It was organised by the family - Bernie's wife Lee and sons Mark and Michael chose Bernie's favourite watering hole, the Rose and Crown and we gathered to share our favourite anecdotes of Bernie, lift a glass to his memory and commiserate with each other. It is said that no one is truly gone while people still speak their name. If that's true, Bernie will be with us in spirit for a very long time.

12.01.2022 Garrick are proud to present Sean Wsiclo who will be taking the role of Algernon Moncrieff in the current production of The Importance of Being Earnest.

On stage he has played the Mad Hatter, the Bad Batter and the Sad Butter - Algernon is breakaway role for him in that the character is comparitively sane. His daytime j...ob is as a musician - he plays the Peruvian Nose Flute for the West Berlin Sympathy orchestra. His hobbies are sheep worrying (he runs behind them shouting ‘mint sauce, mint sauce’.)

02.01.2022 Hello parents of T.A.G! Rod here, (VP and T.A.G Liason) I just wanted to touch base and say thank you for all your support over 2020 especially for the Hound pr...oduction. It's been a year for sure, but we are seeing some return to normal with T.A.G coming back as the show winds down. (October 10) As we approach the end of the year, I do have a huge favour to ask moving forward. As you know, Garrick Theatre is run by volunteers and we are running short for some shows. We would love for not just the kids but for your families/homes to become members and then in turn be able to help out. Volunteering doesn't always mean being on stage, so don't panic. We need F.O.H and Bar volunteers (Garrick will pay for RSA and Bar manager courses, we just ask for a commitment to a certain amount of shows). We have three committees that always need fresh ideas (The Executive, production and 90th birthday committees) and of course T.A.G and the shows. Also, becoming a member, gives you the opportunity to have more of a say in what happens at the theatre, especially TAG. The AGM is November 13th. Please come along, as a member, to vote for who you would like on the committee (indeed yourself), ask questions, etc etc. Always happy to chat with everyone and again thanks for all the support!
