Members supporting the Club
There are many aspects to putting on a show and/or running the Club which can seem a little overwhelming at first. When putting a show you will need to put your team together but you may have some general questions or you may want to help the Club but are not sure how. Luckily, we have many members who are willing to help you navigate these waters! You just have to ask . You can give as much or as little support as you are able: from helping draft the newsletter during club evenings to website maintenance and from props research through to running workshops - there are many ways in which you can support your club.
Without taking the place of your team, the following members are all theatre enthusiasts with very specific experience who are more than happy to have a cuppa with you and chat/act as a sounding board and in so doing, support the Committee in carrying out its work, including that of the administration of the Club.
This is a work in progress and as more members come forward to offer their support they can be added. If you would like to help, but prefer not to be on the Committee, then this is one way you could be of great assistance to the Club. Please get in touch with julie@nwtc.lu if you would like to be included on the "members supporting the Club" contacts list.

Lights/sound equipment |
Philip Dutton (technical support)

Philip has been heavily involved in many aspects of putting on a show from directing to performing and committee work to backstage support.

News and newsletter |
Julie Fraser (Newsletter coordinator)
Artemios Vogiatzis (news and events support)
|
Julie enjoys all aspects of theatre and is keen to share information about NWTC and all anglophone theatre in Luxembourg. All members are invited to write articles. Julie is happy to hear of news and try to find a way to incorporate your news onto the website and/or newsletter. If you have ideas, questions and/or contributions please get in touch.
Artemios is new to NWTC, having joined to perform in Oh What a Lovely War. He has agreed to help Julie (is he mad?!) with the news and events sections of the website so please don't hesitate to let him know of any upcoming theatrical events you wish to share. |
|
Old photos, programmes and posters |
Les Wilson (Gallery coordinator)
|
Les has been involved in many NWTC shows, usually on the technical side but has been known to walk the boards too. It would be great to build up memories of plays and events over the years by gathering all the photos members have and putting them with the corresponding production/event. It is an endless task, but one Les is happy to do. Send him your scanned photo/flyer/whatever (or put them on a memory stick) and he will make sure it ends up in the right place on the website! |
|
Props |
Angela Milne
|
Angela has been with NWTC for many years and has acted, directed, sung and danced her way through many shows. She is also known as the 'props queen' as she has researched, hunted for and created more props than anyone can remember! She holds a key to the barn where many of the props are stored. |
|
Putting on a production (inc. how to make a proposal) |
Chris Wilson
(production support)
|
Chris has been involved in the Club for over 20 years. There isn't a role she hasn't done from props to directing and from bar to acting! If you would like to talk with someone about how to put on a play, make a proposal to the Committee or put a team together then Chris is more than happy to share a cuppa and a chat. |

Set materials |

Les has been involved in the design and construction of many sets over the years. He can advise about available materials in the barn and is a key holder. |
|
Social media (facebook, twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc) |
Phil Taylor (social media support)
|
Phil’s experience of NWTC came about largely because of his son’s (Tiernan’s) involvement with the youth theatre – however, in 2014 he stepped boldly into the role of crew member when he assisted actors with their marching techniques for Oh What a Lovely War! His working life is that of IT and marketing so is perfect for advice on the social media front. |
|
Ticketing |
Pam Carlisle (ticketing advisor)
|
Pam has done front of house for many, many shows and been exposed to, and overcome, various ticketing issues. If you need advice on the various options for ticketing then Pam is your girl! |
