Wilf Fredricks, a well known actor and member of a famous Weston family who performed Pierot shows at the Tivoli Theatre and on the Grand Pier, was the much loved and admired Producer and Director for the Society and for many years it flourished under his direction. Since his retirement. a number of other Directors using their special talents have guided the society into the 21st Century. Our shows now receive many nominations for direction, music, singing and acting for individuals and ensemble work from NODA, The Rose Bowl and Somerset Fellowship of Drama. Tom Shearman,
recently retired, was our talented Musical Director for 40 years and
his partnership with Wilf Fredricks was legendary with the first
performances in Weston of all the great post-war American musicals. Under his baton,
the society together with more recent Directors has achieved great
vocal qualities. Now under the musical direction of Matthew Tilke
and John Johnson,
the society will continue to maintain the reputation it has built
over the years. |
