Clare Quinn
Ordinary committee member
How long have you been a member of Parish Players and part of the committee?
For as long as I can remember! I first appeared as a 'littlie' when I was 4 years old and have continued ever since, with a few breaks when I went off to university, travelled and had children. I have previously served as PP secretary and re-joined the committee as an ordinary member in 2019.
What first brought you to Parish Players?
My parents! They have both been members of Parish Players since before I was born and some of my earliest memories are of watching Sunday afternoon rehearsals, helping Mum to learn her lines and being very upset when Dad got a custard pie in the face!
What is your most memorable experience being a part of Parish Players?
Over the years I have been involved in productions on and off stage and have been lucky enough to be able to take on a variety of different roles. In 2018 I co-created '100 Years On' to mark the centenary of the end of WW1 which took the form of a selection of music, poetry, memories and drama. I was supported by an amazing cast and crew of Parish Players members and the final result is still one of my proudest moments at PP.
