Natasha Lakin - Beauty |
 After playing Snow White in last year’s panto, Tasha was delighted
to be chosen to play the leading lady for a second time. She as lived
in Spain for eight years and is currently studying at the Lady Elizabeth
Senior School in Lliber. She has performed in various
productions with other theatre groups such as “The Lion, Witch,
and the Wardrobe”, “Annie”, and “Dracula Spectacular”, and is a
member of Careline Kids. Tasha is thrilled to be performing with Careline again this year, and hopes you enjoy the performance!
|
| Linda Arthurs - Countess Cruella |
 Linda joined Careline Theatre 3 years ago and has played a variety of comic
roles, most recently as Mrs Fox in ‘Dad’s Army’ and foul-mouthed Emily
in ‘Tomb with a View’, In past pantomimes she has played the Good
Fairy in ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and the Magic Mirror in ‘Snow White’.
This year she is looking forward to all the hisses and boos she is
bound to receive as the wicked Countess Cruella - cackle! cackle!
|
| Dennis Arthurs - Frutti |
 Dennis has been with Careline Theatre for 3 years. He is looking forward to being able to dress up as a female again having missed out on last year’s panto. It must be something to do with the outsize bras, the petticoats, colourful dresses and outrageous behaviour that makes these ‘female’ parts so alluring for him. Well, that’s what he tells us!
|
| Neil Carter - Tutti |
 Having enjoyed his first time performing for Caroline last year, Neil once again dons dresses and wigs to play a dame along side Dennis Arthurs. In October he took part in ‘Tomb with a View’ in which he played ‘Lucian’, a distinct departure from a cross-dresser and ended up losing his head! Let's hope it doesn’t happen this time!
|
| Brenda Taylor - The Rose Fairy |
 “And now for something completely different”. From ‘Dotty’ Dora in ‘Tomb with a
View’ to the Rose Fairy in ‘Beauty & the Beast’. Brenda has been
involved in every Panto since joining Careline in 2003, either on
or back -stage as a ‘goody’ or a ‘baddie’. This ‘goody’ needs your
support and encouragement for her ‘magic’ to work, so, lots of applause and cheers in the right places please!
|
Ian Coleman - Joe Jarrod |
 No Mr. Baddi this year back,.... back to Mr. Nice .... now in fourth year of panto and looking forward to the role of Beauty’s father. Ian has appeared in a number of other productions and really enjoys the camaraderie of a lively and fun cast. He is also active in a local band “Johnny and the Cougars” |
| Peter Clague - Gregory |
 Peters’ involvement with amateur theatre began many
years ago. He has performed with most groups in the Marina Alta in both
acting and singing roles. Peter is a founder member of Careline
and ‘Beauty & the Beast’ will be his eighth Panto with the group.
|
| Andy Crabb - The Beast |
 Pantomime - is the most forgiving of the theatrical arts: it allows amateurs
to “have a bash”, helps singers find their voices for the first time, and
makes costume people, and carpenters feel desperately wanted. It is
this aspect which attracts me to pantomime: I am no carpenter,
but I can make a pistol, sword, rabbit, or a musket look vaguely like
what they are supposed to. The thing that terrifies me about it is
being asked to sing solo! |
| Kelly Thomas - Prince Valentine |
 KellyThomas, first appeared at the age of 14 in the 2nd Careline panto “Jack and
the Bean Stalk” as the mischievous “Fairy Fluff”. Since then she has been seen
on Spanish television in Popstars & various TV programs as a presenter. She has
more recently been all over the Valencian Community as a lead singer with the
“Fiesta” band, “Titanic”. Kelly continues to study musical drama in Valencia at the
“Escuela Off”. Her close ties to Careline are through her mother “Lucy Lastic”!!! |
| Candy Wright - Lucy Lastic |
After playing most panto roles from Principle Boy to Evil Baddy, Candy
at last gets a chance to play a female “Buttons” as Lucy. Her zany
costume’s and crazy hairstyles only enhance the real comedienne
bubbling under Candy’s character. Please note, she wants your
chocolates! |
| Alan Gill - Gruesome |
 Alan first appeared for Careline as Private Godfrey in Dad’s Army in May 2008 and was in the chorus for last year’s panto, Snow White. This year he has progressed to a half line speaking role in Beauty and The Beast as Gruesome, one of Countess Cruela’s two minions. The other half of the line is spoken by his wicked partner, Grunge. Alan thinks he must be doing something almost correctly to have been asked back.
|
| Ben Davis - Grunge |
 Following his success as the lead dwarf in last years panto Ben has this year taken the part of one of Cruella’s sinister side kicks. Not a lot
to say but his presence is felt! Ben has been active in Careline pantos for a number of years as well as taking an active part in
school production where he is studying Drama at GCSE level. |
| Bernard King - Gregory's Granny |
 Bernard came to the Costa Blanca and started to play bit parts. He is still doing so. The part of Gregory’s Granny is his first ‘bit’ in drag and the first to require him to sing. It is his fond hope that audiences
will indulge in a charitable amount of collective compassion for a grumpy old man, renowned for being a male chauvinist and totally tone deaf who finds himself in apron and petticoat.
