A fairly new addition to KATS (appearing in Oliver in 2015 for those who saw the show) and now fully addicted to the stage! “I’m so excited to show what we’ve been working on and can’t wait for future shows”. We love Bella’s talent and enthusiasm.

Caroline initially volunteered to help out backstage but soon found herself being persuaded to join the ensemble and then much to her surprise, a small part. This is her first time acting since appearing in her school advent play at the age of eight – and she says becoming a thespian has changed her life!

Benjamin has been performing in amateur theatre for exactly a decade this year. He started in the Marlborough pantos then recently joined KATS with guys and dolls, and hasn’t looked back since! He is absolutely fantastic, incredibly talented and overjoyed he gets to write his own bio!

He has also performed with Mad Kids and was involved in the Inn Theatre Company’s touring production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

His varied and eclectic history includes being a lead singer in a rock group, dabbling with improv comedy and even being dragged on stage at the Edinburgh Fringe more than once! Dwayne is his first role in amateur dramatics.

As a teenager Sarah wished to have been part of KATS but openly admits that she felt too shy to even try. Thankfully a return to Kingsbridge 22 years later prompted her to finally have a go! And being a huge fan of musical theatre, it is no secret to say her dream has come true.

As a teenager Karina attended ballroom dancing classes after which she joined the women’s modern dance group. Her love for singing she owes to her family as every meeting finished with everyone singing together. Being part of the ensemble in KATS has perfectly combined Karina’s two passions that have until recently only be seen by workmates.
