Hi my name is Karen Booth and I am Vice Chairperson and Child Protection Officer of the Littleport Players. My daughter joined the group when she was nine and, because I am a hairdresser by trade, I offered to help with the hair and make-up. I enjoyed it so much I decided to volunteer to be the Prompt which lasted for about five years and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was at this time I went on to join the Committee and help with all the fund raising events.
At one meeting it was asked if anybody would be willing to learn how to Direct a show and, almost without my permission, I realised I had volunteered myself! So for the next two shows I helped, and at times, hindered Becky Green. Finally, I unleashed on my own for Aladdin and for Return to the Forbidden Planet. I never realised how much hard work is involved with directing but such satisfaction when you watch the end production.
So, hope to see you all in the audience sometime – bye for now!
& Child Protection Officer
