Charlotte joined us in 2023 in time for our 2024 panto ‘The Princess and the Pea.’ She grew up in her local amateur drama group as the youngest of 3 generations involved at the time, performing for the first time at aged 8. In 2026 Charlotte won an Eagle award for Best Performance in a Pantomime for her role as Malicious in Humpty Dumpty. Although she loves the spotlight, she also has a real passion for nurturing the next generation, with a strong belief that local drama has made her the person she is today. 

 Jane joined us in 2017 and comes from a family with a long theatrical tradition. She is in charge of our props and is to be found backstage at most of our productions.

Katherine’s first production with Chellaston Players was ‘Mother Goose’ in 2007. She took a few years off for school and university, where she performed in ‘Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat’. In 2015 she re-joined the Players and has taken part in plays and pantos ever since.

Mick joined us in 1978 and has appeared in numerous plays since. Mick wrote the pantomime Aladdin in 1984 and we have continued to perform a pantomime annually since; many of his pantomimes have been published. He has also directed numerous plays and adapted productions such as Watership Down and two versions of Vicar of Dibley. He is a past Chairman and very active committee member. He has a BA in Theatre for which he studied after his retirement. He was honoured to be presented with a lifetime achievement award for services to Amateur Theatre by the Derby
