| Andy Crabb - 'John' |
Andy has never been to drama school, can't sing and dance at the same time, can't read music and doesn't play a musical instrument. He has, nevertheless, danced in four ballets, dabbled in Victorian Music Hall, written plays, made props, painted sets, acted in farces and played "The Baddie" in his last ten pantomimes. What he lacks in talent he makes up for in enthusiasm. We at Careline are happy and proud to have him on the team.

| Tony Lawley - 'Stanley' |
Tony's first role for Careline Theatre (or indeed any other theatre) was in last year's panto as Onions in "Mother Goose" He thoroughly enjoyed himself, but insisted it would be his first, and last, role. Then along came the part of Stanley and he couldn't resist getting his teeth into the part, and considering Tony was a dentist in the UK, it should stand him in good stead for "keeping his head" when all about are losing theirs! Tony has lived in Spain for over seven years with his wife Maggie.
|
| Dorothy Fish - 'Mary' |
Dorothy brings a wealth of experience as an amateur in the UK having proved her abilities in a good many of the most demanding roles in musical theatre.
She won the prestigious Manchester Evening News "Oscar" for Miss Adelaide in "Guys & Dolls". She also played the leading role in the award winning amateur premier of "Irene" staged at the Manchester Opera House. Since coming to live in Spain, Dorothy joined Careline Theatre taking part in five Pantomimes and will certainly be remembered for her character role as the piano player Mrs. Fraser in "Stepping Out" Dorothy took part in M.A.S.K.'s production of "Cole" & "Let's All Go Down The Strand"

| Lynne Parsons - 'Barbara' |
Lynne has been a member of Careline Theatre group from its inception. Her first experience on stage was in the chorus of the very first Careline production of "Cinderella" in 1997. She then played Barbara" in "Run for your Wife" which was a very new challenge for her! She then played a very sympathetic nurse in our extremely successful "Stepping Out" which had to be repeated due to popular demand! She has also appeared in all our Pantomimes in the chorus except the last one due to a broken leg suffered just as rehearsals were under way! She is now playing the part of "Barbara" once again (17 years on!) in "Caught in the Net" in the sequel to our first play.

Bill Kent - 'Dad' |
Bill has acted in amateur theatre for over 40 years, starting whilst he was a fighter pilot in the RAF. His greatest love is farce ("Life is too serious to be taken seriously") and so he is delighted to be in a farce with a part appropriate to his advancing years! He has appeared twice with Careline Theatre, in the pantomime "Puss in Boots" and recently at a club evening. It's great to have you with us Bill!

Joe Satari - Gavin' |
Joe moved to Spain 3 years ago and has since been doing work with the Theatre Express and more recently Stage Door, but this is his first production with "Careline." Joe is a student at the Lady Elizabeth School where he is currently studying for his GCSE's. When he finishes his studies here in Spain, he hopes to move back to the UK to attend a stage school. Good Luck Joe, and don't forget Careline when you become a Superstar!
