Graham and Sarah Wilkinson – Director & Choreographer
Sarah and I have both been involved in theatre for the past 25 years and whilst I predominantly ‘trod the boards’ Sarah, as a qualified dance teacher, specialised in ballroom, modern and theatrical dance, and teaching in a number of local schools. In the 14 years we have been married, we have combined our talents, working with a number of theatrical groups and directing many shows including Bugsy Malone, Some like it Hot, Calamity Jane, Godspell and Return to the Forbidden Planet.

In September 2004 we decided to form our own Performing Arts Group, Spotlight Productions, and were delighted with the success of our first major musical “Grease”. Since then the group has gone from strength to strength and we premiered a brand new musical “A Whitechapel Tale” in January 2006, followed by Bugsy Malone, Disco Inferno and 42nd Street, all to sell-out audiences. We will continue to bring the 'West End' experience to Huntingdon and are planning future productions.

Simon Pergande and Marion Pergande – Musical Director & Costume Design
Both of our children had been performing with Sarah & Graham for several years, so when they approached me in September 2004 to help them set up Spotlight, I jumped at the chance. I became Musical Director whilst Marion helped out with costumes and the web site. I have always had a love for all things musical, playing trumpet in bands and orchestras when young and eventually moving across to piano and keyboards. I taught piano for many years before finally taking up song writing with Mike Lewis. In 2005 we completed our first major full length musical, A White Chapel Tale, which we were very proud to see performed by the Spotlight Cast in January 2006. Our second musical, "Princeford Pals" is now completed.
In addition to my Spotlight duties, I also play keyboards for a local show band and am the feature keyboard player for international country singer Jacky Barnett. Being part of the Spotlight is tremendous fun and continues to be incredibly rewarding.

Elena Carpenter - Directors Assistant & Stage Manager
My key role is Directors Assistant, which involves keeping the master script and stage directions up to date, acting as prompt in rehearsals and generally making sure the cast remember their exists and entrances. I am also Stage Manager, managing the back stage crew, the props, moving the set, and generally keeping order!

Kelly Fawkes - Choreographer
I began dancing at the age of 3. Since then, I have taken part in various stage productions, many performed in the West End, where I gained much of my stage experience. Accepting the role of choreographer presented me with a fresh challenge, which I thoroughly enjoy.

Paul Sweeney - Assistant Director
I have been acting and directing in the Huntingdon area for over 10 years now, through various productions ranging from Oscar Wilde to Pantomime. I have worked with BBC radio on a radio play, and trained with NODA in directing. I am so pleased I have joined this talented range of members having first worked with Graham and Sarah almost 8 years ago. It's rewarding to see the cast continue to embrace the challenges of musical theatre and create such dazzling shows.
