About Spotlight Productions

 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, 42nd Street and Back to the 80's, all to sell-out audiences. We will continue to bring the 'West End' experience to Huntingdon and are planning future productions.

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 have been involved with Spotlight Productions since 2006, here we are five shows later and how the time has flown!  I thoroughly enjoy being a part of Spotlight, working alongside Sarah choreographing great dance routines and encouraging the kids to learn and understand the skills needed for Musical Theatre.  I also own Kelly Marie’s Dancewear, which keeps me busy day to day and am currently studying to be a dance teacher at AJ’s Dance Academy.  My involvement with Spotlight has presented many challenges but has given me the opportunity to work within a great team choreographing for some truly great shows.

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.
