Are you taking part in any productions at the moment: Currently rehearsing for The Pied Piper with the Bollington Festival Players and my school Christmas panto. Who is your character in The Pied Piper?: Heidi. How long have you been with the Bollington Festival Players?: This is my first performance with them. What do you like about the character you are currently playing?: I like playing Heidi because she is a cheerful, happy character that always sees the bright side of situations. What do you most enjoy: I most enjoy the atmosphere at rehearsals and working with people of all ages from different schools and different backgrounds. Have you been in any other productions: I was in Babes in the Wood, Bugsy Malone and Back to the 80s. If you could play any part what would it be and why?: Roxy from Chicago because she gets to sing, act and dance together in the same show while playing a complicated character.

What do you most enjoy about doing this?: I love dance with a passion, so getting to dance on stage with all my friends from Art House is where I’m happiest. Who is your favourite actor and why?: Emma Watson is my favourite actress because I think it’s amazing how she was so good at acting at such a young age.
