Gill is a long-serving member of The Livingston Players. She has performed in many leading and supporting roles in musicals and plays and has also directed both for the club. A key member of the committee, Gill brings a wealth of experience in management and employment law, having worked as a Senior HR Business Leader in large corporate organizations. Now retired, she is excited to work alongside the committee to ensure the club continues to provide the best opportunities and entertainment in amateur theatre for local communities and beyond.

This is Scott’s seventh year on the committee, where he began as a youth representative before taking on the role of Publisher. He later transitioned into the Technical Coordinator and now feels extremely privileged to serve as Vice President while still keeping (and enjoying) his techy role. Since 2012, Scott has been involved in over 50 productions with various companies within the central belt of Scotland, mainly as a performer, but also in stage management, crew roles, and more recently as a director. He is currently studying his fourth year of Software Engineering at the University of Glasgow, where he intends to develop a theatre management application for his final year project. Scott loves and appreciates being able to contribute to the running of The Livingston Players, particularly enjoying the chance to put his techy skills to good use (who doesn’t love a spreadsheet!).
Since making his Livingston Players debut in the 2006 production of The Scarlet Pimpernel as the villainous Robespierre, Alistair has become a regular onstage presence, taking lead roles in several plays and musicals. His performances include Bill Snibson in Me and My Girl, Mickey Johnston in Blood Brothers, and René Artois in 'Allo 'Allo. Having appeared in over 100 musicals and plays in and around Edinburgh, this is his second stint on the committee, where he hopes to bring some of the knowledge he has amassed over the years to contribute to the club's success.
A member of the Players since 2008, she was previously with Downfield Musical Society in Dundee before moving to Livingston in 2000. She has served as Vice President, President, Box Office Manager, and Choreographer and, as well as Secretary, she is The Players Archivist. Pam has played several principal and supporting roles in both musicals and plays, but her favourite role so far is Chris in the 2024 production of Calendar Girls.Â

Carol has been with The Livingston Players for over 20 years, taking part in numerous musicals and plays. Often seen and heard in the chorus, but thoroughly enjoys honing her craft in plays. Her favourite role so far was Mel in Shakers in 2010. An active committee member for many years and a past President, she also serves as the Players' Child Protection Officer. As a Life Member, Carol was both surprised and delighted to receive this honor.

Abbie has been part of The Livingston Players since 2017, working on sound and visuals. Recently, she decided to step onstage, performing in Legally Blonde and Footloose. She is happy to be part of the committee and enjoys helping to support the company.
Amy has been involved with the Livingston Players, starting in 2010 as a member of the stage crew and has recently stepped into various production team roles. She has been the assistant director for Legally Blonde, co-director for Footloose and Stage Manager for Calendar Girls. Although Amy is a Physiotherapist by day, she has always been involved with theatre, having worked as a tutor and stage manager at Star Harmoneez Musical Theatre School during her time at University. This is Amy’s second year on the committee and she is passionate about developing our online presence.
Jo has been a member of the Livingston Players since 2014. She enjoys both performing onstage - most recently as part of the 3 blind mice trio in Shrek (2025) - as well as helping backstage & behind the scenes. She enjoys all things musicals and dance. Jo is excited to be back on committee for another trip round the sun, in her role as Publisher.Â
Karen joined The Players in 1992 to take part in a one-act festival in the old Howden Park Centre. Her first play was in October 1995 and her first musical was in 1993, Sweet Charity. Thus far Karen has been involved in 28 musicals in both minor principal and chorus roles. She has been on the committee for over 30 years in various roles, namely secretary, box office, and an ordinary member. Karen is happy to be back after taking a break in 2023.Â
Louise has been a member of Livingston Players since 2014 and has performed in musicals and plays, including The Steamie, The Odd Couple, Allo Allo, 9 to 5, and Made in Dagenham. She enjoys being part of the committee almost as much as she loves being onstage, bringing passion and enthusiasm to everything she does. She feels extremely privileged to serve on the committee of this incredible company.Â
