Howard is the larrikin of theatrical productions. He has been made a life member of WDG, but he denies he's old enough to have achieved this feat. He has, however, appeared in over thirty WDG plays in the last twenty years, so there might be something in it. Howard reckons that the lines are a bit harder to learn these days, but it's still just as much fun as it was twenty years ago. Top |
| John Pastor as Doctor Bradman
This is John's third play with the group and he intends to perform in many more over the ensuing years. John thoroughly enjoys the challenge of the stage, in front of a live audience, taking direction and guidance excitedly. You may remember him in Plaza Suite in 2000 or in US in 2002. He uses his acting skills to enhance his public speaking engagements across Australia and the world. Top

Since then, she has been involved in over 20 different productions including musicals, pantomimes and plays. She previously enjoyed played Elvira in a Brisbane production of Blithe Spirit and so is delighted to play the role again with WDG, as she has recently moved to the Central Coast. Top |
| Denise Cooper Director
In an earlier life, Denise was a singer in a rock and roll band and lived and worked around South East Asia for several years. She was one of the many entertainers in Vietnam, remaining committed to the Vietnam Veterans' Association and marching annually to this day. Denise loved the theatre, but avoided having a go herself until her creativity clock blew up seven years ago and she embarked upon a part-time Bachelor of Arts degree, with a major in Drama at Newcastle University. Proving that age and circumstance are no barrier to success, Denise was among the recipients of The Pro Vice Chancellor's Award 2001 for outstanding academic performance, and graduated this month. Denise has previously done props for WDG, stage managed for CCTC and Peggy Thompson, and is grateful for the opportunities afforded her by WDG to direct. Her first effort was Darlings you were Wonderful, part of the Comedy Trio in 2002. Top |
