The Company
Julia Nicolson
YENTE, THE MATCHMAKER
Despite her involvement in hair-pulling, attempted
murder and fatal shootings in our last show
‘Sweeney Todd’ where she played the rather evil
‘Mrs Fogg, Julia has been allowed to remain
a member of Hitchin Thespians and is delighted
to be playing the role of Yente.
Julia has been involved in amateur dramatics
locally for over fifteen years and first played the role
of Yente in the Stevenage Lytton Players 2004
production. She is always happy to forfeit a pretty
costume in favour of an ageing wig for the challenge
and fun that comes from eccentric comedy character
roles. Previous favourite roles include Widow Corney
in ‘Oliver!’ and Claree Belcher in ‘Steel Magnolias’.
This is Dom's debut with the Thespians but he is
no newcomer to the theatre. He has taken several
character and lead roles with other societies including
Billy Bigelow in ‘Carousel’, Jud Fry in ‘Oklahoma’, The
King in ‘The King and I’ and most recently he sank
without a trace as Edgar Beane in ‘Titanic’.
He also enjoys acting in plays and took the
part of the narrator in ‘Blood Brothers’.
Previously, Dominic lived in Russia and
sang at the Bolshoi theatre... (it may have
been the in bar, but the Bolshoi, nonetheless!)
