The role of Meg is played by our very own Jenn W who has been involved with Croydon Parish Players for 24 years!

Over that time she has been involved in many shows with us both Musical and Play alike and both on and off the stage. So when asked what her favourite role / show was during that time she found it very difficult to answer, however playing Gwendolen in The Importance of Being Earnest is towards the top of that list.

What drew Jenn to audition for Hotel Sorrento? (Which opens in two more sleeps!). Believe it or not Jenn has never been in an Australian Play! So it was this along with the depth of the character Meg and the great story line.

Jenn is enjoying the season immensely and there are many aspects she has enjoying about the show! Sharing the stage for the first time with Ian (even though we don’t talk to each other) and Meredith; Arguing with her brother Colin on stage! And playing opposite her husband. She's also really enjoyed having Andrea and Anne as sisters (even though they’re "really mean" to her. (Well you can understand why... she wrote the tell all book!)

So if Meg could meet a celebrity on the beach, who does Jenn think that would be? Shakespeare...?? Hmmmm no.... most probably Helen Garner.

Meredith plays the role of Marge the next door neighbour in our upcoming production of Hotel Sorrento. We took her aside at a recent rehearsal to ask a few quick questions about her and about how the show / season is going.

How long have you been a part of CPP?
This is my fourth year.

What is your favourite role/show you have been in?
Lord Arthur Saville's Crime. I played the protective mother in law Lady Julia Merton. The costumes were amazing!

What drew you to audition for the play "Hotel Sorrento"?
I love the Theatre Group. There are so many talented actors and such a feeling of community.
 
If your character could meet a celebrity on the beach -who would you choose?
Meg Moynihan, as my character lovingly admires the author's award nominated book.

What has been your favourite part of the rehearsal season/set build so far?
Watching and listening to the other scenes in rehearsal and the amazing cast bringing it all together.
