John Hutchinson has been with the Players now for 38 years. He stopped pretending to be an actor long ago in favour of being the director and has directed 12 musicals and 38 plays for the Livingston Players.

John has been performing in musicals for far longer than he is prepared to admit. This wonderful hobby has given John tremendous enjoyment over the years, and left him with many enduring friendships.

I’ve been involved in Amateur Drama for 30 years with various groups both as an actor and director, being involved in some capacity in over 100 productions. I have directed one-act and full-length plays and pantomimes including for the Edinburgh Fringe and enjoy working with people of all ages, as was seen in my Livingston Players debut with Babysitting Calvin. I was to have directed the full-length play for our Spring 2020 production and am still keen to do so whenever we can restart post-Covid-19.

Grant has been with Livingston Players, on and off stage for around 12 years. His first on stage appearance was “young Peter in Mame, Since then he has been cast as a hyper puppy, a German solider, a Russian soldier and a victim of Sweeny Todd himself!

After moving to a more behind the scenes role, Grant has crewed for almost every show and his first “solo” as Stage Manager was a 2-show play fest, shortly followed by Made in Dagenham.
Grant tells us “My backstage career has found me working for many other companies, even reaching the dizzy heights of the Kings Theatre in Edinburgh!”
