Annual Appeal 2010

As a an actor and a singer, I have had the opportunity to work in some of the most famous theatres in the UK, including the London Palladium. I have toured Europe and the USA (and got paid for it) and I was lucky enough to work with some amazing people. I realise that this is a very privileged position to be in, and my time in the Arts has been incredibly rewarding.

It hasn't all been easy, of course. Touring the UK and trying to find my own digs was, at times, a nightmare and that is why I decided to start www.theatredigsbooker.com. When you tour, you realise that the actor is actually one small part of a very big machine. Working with great technicians and musicians, dancers and managers makes you realise that you are a team and that is exactly who theatredigsbooker.com tries to help - the whole team. It was an easy decision therefore, when searching for a charity to affiliate ourselves with, because Acting for Others brings together many of the charities for all theatre professionals. We have promised to donate a percentage of our profits each year to Acting for Others and hope that many other companies do the same.
