My involvement with the theatre started at the tender age of 5 when I played the part of Gretl in The Sound of Music, with my Dad, Chris Clarke as Von Trapp, at The Concordia Theatre, Hinckley.  Over the years I have worked my way up the ranks, performing with all three musical societies (The Tinhatters/The Guild/Concordia AOS), which has been a hobby shared with all my family.  Recently I have turned my hand to directing and producing, but my passion continues to rest with performing and my favourite roles to date are Florence in Chess, Cinderella in Into the Woods and Maria from The Sound of Music.  I recently received my NODA 20 year’s medal.

As well as performing at The Concordia, I have played at the Coventry Belgrade, Leicester Haymarket, Keddleston Hall, Her Majesty’s London and the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.  I have also recorded several CDs including an original compilation of children’s nursery rhymes.

I am thrilled to be taking over from Martin as Area 6 Representative and looking forward to visiting societies and seeing all the talent out there.  I’d like to wish Martin all the best with his new role.
