Richard arrived on the Canberra theatre scene late in life, somewhere between his 31st and 32nd birthdays. His first show was in Phoenix Players production of Kiss Me Kate in 2006, where he "Fell in love with theatre" and since then he has appeared in dozens of shows ranging from plays to musicals to pantomimes.

In 2010 Richard began his foray into producing shows as the Production Manager for Phoenix Players Disney's double bill - Cinderella and The Aristocats. He found managing two casts of about 50 children set him up to handle adult casts like "no other text book training could ever have". In 2012 he got his first chance direct with How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying as part of the Phoenix Players - Phoenix Rising Program.

In 2013 he performed leading roles in Ickle Pickle's production of Oliver! playing the "suitably sinister" Bill Sikes, as Frank Butler in Queanbeyan Player's Annie Get Your Gun and as understudy for the role of Javert in Canberra Philharmonic Society's Les Miserable.

In 2013 Richard launched the StageCenta website as a resource and information hub for the theatre scene.

In 2014 Richard established Dramatic Productions to co-produce The Rokitelly Man with Ickle Pickle Productions. And then in 2015 directed and produced The Last Five Years and teaming up with the ANU School of Music Into the Woods which won 3 Canberra Area Theatre awards. In 2016 Richard directed Dramatic Productions 4th show Catch Me If You Can.

2017 saw the last production directed by Richard, Sweeney Todd. Afterwards he would exclusively produce theatre, staging Heathers the Musical in 2018 and then The Producers in 2019, starring Daryl Somers (Hey Hey Its Saturday) and directed by Rachael Beck.

Born in Sydney, Bronwyn studied music and drama before moving to Canberra.  She established herself as an outstanding song stylist and music theatre leading lady and in 1978 won the Canberra Southern Cross Club’s Entertainer of the Year.  In the same year she made her stage debut as Hodel in Fiddler on the Roof.  Since then she has performed many leading roles including Julie in Showboat, Grace Farrell in Annie, Elsa Schraeder in The Sound of Music, Dorothy Brock in 42nd Street, Golde in Fiddler on the Roof for which she won a Canberra Area Theatre Award for Best Actress in a Musical, Mama Morton in Chicago, Dolly Levi in Hello Dolly, Marion Woolnough in The Boy from Oz and last year as Madame Giry in The Phantom of the Opera.  She also appeared as Vanessa in the Australian premiere of Careful He Might Hear You and as Emma in the Australian premiere of Jekyll and Hyde.  A highlight was to perform the title role in the Argentinian opera Maria de Buenos Aires.

Bronwyn is equally at home in cabaret and has had seasons at The School of Arts Café, The Hyatt Hotel and Teatro Vivaldi both solo and with her daughter Fiona.  She was the vocalist with jazz band Swing in Style and has appeared at many concerts including as a soloist with the Canberra Pops Orchestra, the Band of the Royal Military College Duntroon and the Australian Army Bands Melbourne and Sydney. 

The Gods of Theatre have smiled on Peter this year, gifting him roles in two great productions, in one of his favourite theatres - The Q. 2014 began with multiple roles in the Australian premiere of Terence Rattigan and John Guilgud’s recently rediscovered adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Tale Of Two Cities. And now comes the role of the enigmatic Max Von Mayerling in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s powerful musical Sunset Boulevard, the icing on an already delicious cake!

Peter has been involved in theatre, both on and off stage, for close to forty years. On stage he has performed in principal roles with many of the community theatre companies in Canberra and Queanbeyan, in productions ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan to Bertolt Brecht. He is best known as a musical theatre performer however, and among his favourite roles have been Old Deuteronomy in Philo’s award winning production of Cats, and the roles of the Mikado in Queanbeyan Players’ Mikado and Herr Schultz in Philo’s Cabaret, for both of which he received CAT Award nominations. His most recent musical role was as J. Bruce Ismay, owner of the White Star Line, in Supa’s production of Titanic The Musical.

Off stage Peter has been involved in areas as varied as publicity, set building and play selection, and he is an ex-President of Canberra Repertory Society. He is currently a judge for the Canberra Area Theatre (CAT) Awards, and values experiencing the wide range of theatre which this involves.

Once again, Peter appreciates the opportunity to perform at The Q, a venue which is such a valuable cultural asset for the city of Queanbeyan.

Miriam wasn't familiar with Sunset Boulevard until the about a year ago but since then has fallen in love with the surprisingly complex orchestration, sung harmonies and heart-wrenching story of what is now one of her top five musicals.  She found the music so enjoyable to learn as it presented such a challenge for her - not just the highly textural chorus sections (listen out for "Let's Have Lunch"...well done to our MD Sharon...what a superstar)  but as understudy for Norma it was a brilliant emotional journey.  It is always fantastic for an alto to have the lead role!

Having completed a Bachelor in Classical Voice at the Canberra School of Music in her early 20s, Miriam has performed in a wide variety of operas, recitals, plays and musicals around the Canberra region.  Some of her favourite roles she has played over the years were Prince Orlofsky in Die Fledermaus with the George Limb Opera Company,  Katisha in The Mikado with Philo and recently Angela in the debut performance of The Rokitelly Man (funnily enough all of them had really fun costumes...maybe a theme?).  Having taken a couple of years off until recently to hide backstage and dress the super talented (and highly attractive) actors of Canberra, she hopes to see you from the stage very soon...you wonderful people in the dark.  Enjoy the show!

Calen Robinson burst onto the Canberra Area Theatre scene in 2012 as 2nd Officer Charles Lightholler in Supa's epic production of Titanic - The Musical. Since then, he has established himself as an outstanding thespian in Supa's 2013 all singing and dancing production of Eurobeat - Almost Eurovision, where he represented Estonia, Russia & Norway and received a Canberra Area Theatre award nomination for Best Ensemble in a Musical.

Calen also demonstrated his intense passion for musical theatre by portraying the charismatic and emotional Wes Warnicker in Supa's 2013 production of Footloose – The Musical and cemented his status as inter-suburban ‘triple threat’ through his gripping depiction of the Stage Manager in the Queanbeyan Players’ 2013 revival of the Irving Berlin classic Annie Get Your Gun.

He most recently appeared in Free Rain’s 2014 revival of Forbidden Broadway. Calen has worked with some of the biggest names in the business since debuting on the Canberra Area Theatre scene. However, nothing could have prepared him for the shear magnitude that working with the three titans - Pike, Tree, Sharpe - would entail. Calen hopes that you enjoy this elaborately complex and chillingly eloquent production.

Kylie first joined Canberra’s music theatre scene two years ago as part of the cast of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds.  Since then she has been in Les Miserables and Annie, which was a particular highlight, as two of her three daughters played alongside her as orphans.

This is Kylie’s first show in the beautiful Q Theatre and she is thrilled to be part of such a friendly and talented cast, singing some really challenging music.  Enjoy!

Linda developed an enthusiasm for being on stage at an early age.  Having studied classical singing for many years, she has performed with most of Canberra’s amateur theatre groups. 

Her most recent shows include Phantom of the Opera starring Michael Cormick and Julie-Lea Goodwin, Forbidden Broadway, West Side Story, Cats, Fiddler on the Roof, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Mikado, Annie, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Oliver, Grease, Les Miserables, Cabaret, Hello Dolly, Jesus Christ Superstar.  She’s also had the pleasure of performing as part of the chorus in the Melbourne Opera’s Canberra production of The Merry Widow. 

Linda is delighted to be performing in this production of Sunset Boulevard as the musical became a favourite having seen Hugh Jackman and Debra Byrne perform the lead roles in the Melbourne production in 1997.

Sunset Boulevard isn't the first time Deanna has ventured out to the Q but it is Deanna's first show with Queanbeyan City Council. After a foray into the Wild West here in Queanbeyan Player's Annie Get Your Gun she is delighted to be back in this amazing theatre.

Deanna is also very pleased to finally get to perform a work by Andrew Lloyd Webber and this technically challenging show has been a singers delight to both learn and perform with its richly layered harmonies, moving time signatures and complex multi-vocal sections.

While coming to theatre somewhat later than... well many...Deanna is seemingly making up for lost time joining Supa Productions in Miss Saigon (2009), Titanic (2012), Eurobeat (2013) and Witches of Eastwick (2014).

2014 has been a particularly big year for Deanna who was also part of a real life original locally written production 'The Rokitelly Man' with Ickle Pickle Productions.

Erin comes from a family that has been actively involved with amateur theatre for most of her life and has consequently developed a strong passion for the performing arts. She has been involved with Canberra/Queanbeyan amateur theatre for over 15 years – on-stage, back-stage, front of house and simply watching.  

Erin has appeared in the Queanbeyan City Council’s productions of “Hair” (2012) and revival of “Blood Brothers” (2012). She has also performed in Queanbeyan Players’ production of “Fame the Musical” (2010) and as Shy in Phoenix Players’ production of “The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas” (2011) and most recently in Supa’s production of “Footloose” (2013)

Erin spends her days (and a lot of her evenings) working for The Canberra Theatre Centre as a Box Office supervisor and as a duty house manager for the Front Of House department. She hopes to pursue a career in theatre management, while still having time to tread the boards.

Kitty is thrilled to be part of Sunset Boulevard, her second show for Queanbeyan City Council. She has especially enjoyed the vocal challenge of the music and the unique feel of the show – it’s like stepping back into 1950s Hollywood!

Her past performance credits include Cabaret (Philo) Witches of Eastwick, Eurobeat: Almost Eurovision, Titanic, and Avenue Q (Supa Productions), Hair (Queanbeyan City Council), Phantom of the Opera, Winnie the Pooh and Cats (Free Rain), Beauty and the Beast and Fame (Sydney Youth Music Theatre), as well as The Threepenny Opera, Anything Goes, and Owen Wingrave. She can next be seen in Evita (Philo) in March next year.

Kelda is pleased to be a part of this stylish production and tell this lovely, but tragic story to Canberra audiences. She has performed in theatre for over 20 years in shows including Les Miserables, Cats, Oliver, The Full Monty, Dirty Dicks Theatre Restaurant, plays and a even a friend's short film. Kelda has also directed several musicals including, the sellout season of Jesus Christ Superstar and the Canberra premiere of Miss Saigon, which went on to be awarded a Canberra Critics Circle Award. Last year was spent performing in Les Miserables, directing excerpts from Carmen and Rigoletto and a lively production of Annie. Kelda's next adventure will be a theatrical trip to Argentina as a part of the cast of Evita. 

She would like to thank Stephen Pike and Sharon Tree for the opportunity to be a part of this lovely cast. The highlight of this show is, without doubt, working with her dear friend, choreographer Annette Sharpe. The joy of storytelling is even more rewarding when the experience is shared with friends.

Mitchell is a pretty solid first tenor, an aspiring voice actor and a decent 'normal' actor who cannot improv to save his life. 

He passed his HSC in Music (although he doesn't really know how) and has now taken to the hustle and bustle of non-high school life by being lazy and occasionally making animated shorts on Youtube. He has literally no interest in sports and has the odd tendency to over-analyse any piece of professional art he sees. He is currently studying an advanced diploma in Screen and Media at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment, which he enjoys immensely.

This is Mitchell's first show. Well, that should be obvious.
