Pam Horne

I caught the drama bug at school, my acting highlight was a role in Tewkesbury’s town pageant played through the streets and in the Abbey. It wasn’t a resounding success though, as instead of ‘breaking a leg’, I actually broke my arm and had to wear a sling! I still remember some of my lines though.

I became a Hooky Player at the very first meeting, I wasn’t brave enough to go for a part in the first play, so I was the prompt. I did tread the boards for the first Panto though and absolutely loved it. In the next few years I played a rat, a werewolf, a femme fatale, a spy, a fairy godmother, Peter Pan and many more!

I was lucky to be invited to take a comedy part in another local Am Dram group, which was great fun. I was then encouraged to do a serious role in a challenging play with the same group. I learnt a lot working with different actors and directors with a different approach in a very different production.

After a break from Hooky Players, I was very happy to return to do Garden Pests ... which is definitely a firm favourite of mine. Now I’m back enjoying plays and Panto once again and am excited to see what comes next!
