The Production Team<br />
Linda Dyne<br />
PRODUCTION DIRECTOR<br />
Linda has now been acting both professionally and directing<br />
Amateur Societies for longer than she will admit <strong>to</strong>! Her last<br />
two shows have both been directed at <strong>the</strong> Gordon Craig<br />
Theatre with ‘Calamity Jane’ and ‘Kiss Me Kate’. She is<br />
delighted <strong>to</strong> direct ‘Fiddler on <strong>the</strong> Roof’ again, as this has<br />
been a favourite show of hers since she herself played<br />
Tzeitel. Linda says that although this production is going <strong>to</strong><br />
be ‘traditional’, it will be a slightly different portrayal of this<br />
classic piece. Linda is very pleased <strong>to</strong> have retired this year<br />
so that she has more time <strong>to</strong> direct, and has ‘Princess Ida’ at<br />
Watford Palace, ‘Hot Mikado’ in <strong>the</strong> Arena at St Albans and<br />
‘Crazy for You’ at <strong>the</strong> Gordon Craig lined up for 2010.<br />
John Edwards<br />
MUSICAL DIRECTOR<br />
Throughout his career, often in far-flung places (Scotland,<br />
Singapore and New Mexico included), John has directed<br />
choirs and stage productions in a wide variety of styles and<br />
locations.He also composes in his spare (?) time – his<br />
cantata ‘England’s Heartland’ was awarded first prize in <strong>the</strong><br />
1989 ‘Theme for Hertfordshire’ competition. He is also<br />
involved in <strong>the</strong> annual fund-raising concerts in aid of<br />
Breakthrough, <strong>the</strong> breast cancer charity.<br />
This will be his 11th production as M.D. with <strong>Hitchin</strong><br />
<strong>Thespians</strong> – two of which (‘Singing in <strong>the</strong> Rain’ and ‘Jekyll<br />
and Hyde’) won <strong>the</strong> company NODA awards - and he is<br />
looking forward (hopefully) <strong>to</strong> adding ‘Fiddler’ <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> tally.<br />
