Executive Producer: Debbie Hicks |
 |
|
This is Debbie's fifth year at the Fringe and first show as President of Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group. She made her Savoy debut in Me and My Girl last year, and has since offered herself at the alter of amateur operatics, and regrets nothing. No stranger to either side of the footlights, she has stage managed for EU Footlights earlier this year and Fringe Production company Festival Highlights since 2005; performed with the Edinburgh University Theatre Company and Bournemouth G&S Society; appeared on-stage in the Millennium Dome and the Globe Theatre and elbowed her way into any theatrical venture too slow to say it doesn't need any more staff, thanks. She should probably spend a bit more time working on her English degree.
