Jen's love of theatre was ignited way back in 2000, when she had her first audition at Spectrum Theatre — giving her the opportunity not only to act, but to sing on stage as well!
Jen has been bitten by the theatre bug ever since, with her involvement in countless shows to date, both on and off stage.
Laura joined Spectrum Theatre in 2023 when she landed the role of Marjorie in A Good Old Fashioned Big Family Christmas, and has caught the acting bug since!
Laura has since joined the committee of Spectrum Theatre, and has loved being part of the team.
The Allotment is Lin's first time directing solo, although she has co-directed a couple of plays in the UK many years ago, and has approximately thirty-five years of experience both professionally and in community theatre.
Lin absolutely loves The Allotment, having previously played by the part of Norah, and finds it lovely to see it re-enacted by so many great actors to bring her vision to life.
Since joining Spectrum, Lin has had the honour of playing Mrs Rogers in Agatha Christies And Then There Were None; performing a very special monologue Ham Sandwich, which was written by her very dear friend, in Spectrum Theatre's One Actually; and Lin thoroughly enjoyed playing Dawn in A Composite Arrangement. Lin looks forward to hopefully performing in some of the fantastic plays we have lined up for the coming years — although after A Composite Arrangement, she might be typecast into the grandmother parts now, but says “bring it on”!
Luke Simpson has been Spectrum Theatre's technical whiz-kid for a number of years now, supplying Spectrum Theatre with not only his expertise, but his treasure trove of specialised lighting equipment! It's little wonder that when a director sets about planning their production, their first question is "is Luke available?".
Outside of Spectrum Theatre, Luke owns and operates Plantagenet Production Services, and has travelled the world on the back of his professional expertise.
You can find out more about Plantagenet Production Services here.
Peter Cook is a well-known staple of both Spectrum Theatre and Albany Light Opera Theatre Company, and has taken on many different roles backstage — and a few onstage too! He arrives in Albany back in 2001, and soon got into theatre soon afterwards, putting to use the stage-craft he learnt back in his student days.
Peter has stage-managed several productions both at Spectrum and ALOT Co., and was assistant director for the Musical of Musicals at ALOT Co. Recently, Peter's become a regular lighting and sound operator at Spectrum Theatre.
Peter was awarded a Life Membership at Spectrum Theatre in 2025.
Tiger's been involved in the theatre ever since a child, but never quite expected to graduate University with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Theatre — the consequence of which was a rather brief spell as an English & Drama teacher!
Tiger joined Spectrum Theatre in 2018 have been a drunken butler in Dinner For One, the formidable Mrs Appleyard in Picnic at Hanging Rock, and Madame Arcarti in Blithe Sprit.
In the last couple of years, Tiger has become more involved in behind-the-scenes at Spectrum Theatre, and is now rather addicted to the joy that comes from people stepping into our unique and beautiful little venue for the first time, and loves the wonderful theatre community that we have here.
