Since first appearing with the Livingston Players way back in the 2006 production of “The Scarlet Pimpernel” playing the villainous Robespierre, he has become a more regular on stage presence for the Players including taking lead roles in several plays and musicals, including Bill Snibson in “Me and My Girl”, Mickey Johnston in “Blood Brothers”, and Rene Artois in “Allo Allo”. After appearing in over 100 musicals and plays in and around Edinburgh, this is his second stint on committee and hopes he will bring a little of the knowledge he has amassed in that time to help out.

Lauren Clarke
COMMITTEE MEMBER
I have been a member of the Livingston players since 2017 starting off performing with the youth cast in Les Mis. I’ve been a keen and enthusiastic member in each youth musical performance since. I’m actively a chorus member and dancer and love soaking up the atmosphere of each rehearsal and show. I recently got my HNC in acting and performance and look forward to applying what I’ve learned to future musicals and plays. The Livingston players hold a special place in my heart as the first time I performed in a musical without it being solely dance related was with this on stage family. I’m really looking forward to bringing forth my ideas and enthusiasm to the committee for as long as they’ll have me!
