Sally moved to Esperance almost 11 years ago, becoming involved with the Seniors Variety Shows shortly after arriving. She has since performed in 7 of their productions, been Assistant Director twice, and wrote and directed the show “Horsin' Around”. There is theatre in her background with her parents being on the amateur stage in Perth and Egypt and her son, Stuart being a graduate of The Academy of Performing Arts, Perth.
Sally's involvement with the Bijou Theatre has included co-producing “Who Snitched the Witches Britches” for Julie-Anne Clark and “Curtain up on Murder” for Andrew Dean.
She enjoys singing and plays the piano and ukulele.
Sally is looking forward to working with this dynamic committee and expanding her theatrical knowledge.

A member of the Esperance Theatre Guild since 1984, Victoria made her debut at The Bijou Theatre in Cheap at Half the Price that same year. Involved since in the following productions; Bijou Music Hall (1984), The Christmas Dragon (co director for ESHS production 1984), Absurd Person Singular (1985), Norman is That You? (1986), The Starz Awards (ETG review, 1986, actor, co writer and co director), Cheap at Half the Price (1988 actor and co director), Emerald City (1989), Daylight Saving (1994), The Importance of Being Earnest (2005), It's My Party....and I'll Die if I Want to (2006), Wake Up! (ETG review 2008, actor and co writer), The Bijou Monologues (2010)and Captive Wives (Co-director 2010).
Victoria has a BA (Hons) in English and Drama from The University College of Wales, Aberystwyth (1981), learning her craft whilst performing in plays by Chekhov, Shakespeare, Coward, Brecht, Jonson, Kopit and Zindel at Theatr y Werin and at The Oxford and Edinburgh Festivals. She worked as an on air announcer at Radio 747, Esperance in the 80's, and over the past ten years has written and performed her work on a variety of ABC Radio programs.
"I am very excited to be back on the ETG committee after many years, and look forward to helping Esperance thespians and theatre goers enjoy our wonderful Bijou Theatre. My Great Uncle Bill, William Hartnell, was the first actor to play Dr Who, so theatre and the performing arts have been in my blood since I was born."
Jen only moved to Esperance in 2005 after a career in Archives and Records Management. Having been a keen member of a female classical singing group Ensemble Veritas in Perth and having performed in the chorus of Dido & Aeneas, Orpheus & Eurydice plus Fiddler on the Roof, she was delighted to find the Bijou Theatre and the Esperance Theatre Guild.
"Since joining the Guild I’ve enjoyed working backstage and/or as an extra in Cinderella, Matilda’s Magic Mirror and A Christmas Carol. I’m new to the committee and am going to have a great time sorting out the Guild’s archives."
The Bijou Theatre Esperance has hosted a diverse range of productions, such as Guys and Dolls, Peter Pan, No sex Please We're British, Oklahoma!, Summer of the Aliens, Hotel Sorrento and many more.
