| Mary Smith | Lisa Waters |
![]() | After taking lead roles in Gargrave panto, she was relegated to the part of wicked stepmother on arrival to Skipton Players, and has been brought out of mothballs every year since to warble along in the Christmas concert before being pushed back into her space under the stage floor. |
| Barbara Smith | Roxanne Williams |
![]() | Roxanne (or Roxy to her friends) has been appearing on the Little Theatre stage for almost seven years in various roles. At one point in her acting career she became close to being typecast as "the dizzy blonde"! Roxanne is also a regular cast member of the annual Embsay pantomime. She has discovered an aptitude for painting scenery! |
| John Smith | Philip Smith |
| Philip was hoping to tackle the smaller part of Stanley but, with much persuasion from Dean, reluctantly took the John Smith part. Philip likes acting and directing at the same time as he says he gets scared when listening to one of his own plays. Also, when not on stage he gets complaints from fellow cast members telling him to stop walking back and forth like an expectant father!!!! |

Dean recently played the part of hapless café owner Rene in Sutton’s production of "‘Allo ‘Allo". |

![]() | Shirley says she is "Willing to play any part over a 'certain age'. I can't dance or sing - no talent, in fact, except as a HIGHLY QUALIFIED FAILURE". Aaah - you're not that bad! |

| Director | Philip Smith |
| This is Philip’s fourth outing as a director at Skipton Little Theatre. Philip has played many roles (both big and small) over the years but would relish the opportunity to play an evil character for a change. Philip is often seen appearing with Sutton Amateurs, usually in their pantomime. |
