ACT Hall of Fame

PETER MARSHALL I am sure that 64 years ago, when a young man first set foot on stage, he was bitten by the theatre bug as since that time, the person who is to be inducted into the ACT Hall of Fame, never thought that it would become a life time of a lot of pleasure, sometimes a little frustration, a great many highs and a few lows, but nevertheless, a thoroughly enjoyable journey. In the intervening years, he has played the ocarina in 'Call Me Madam', and been a dancer in shows ranging from "The Flower Drum Song", "The Student Prince", "The Desert Song", "Half a Sixpence", and one of the very first amateur presentations of "My Fair Lady". When he gave up being a dancer he went backstage and managed the societies props for shows such as "The Dancing Years" and "Pickwick", eventually taking over as Props Master and graduating to Assistant Stage Manager then Stage Manager.till the last performance in the sadly missed, Tameside Hippodrome. In 2009 he was appointed Chairman of his society, overseeing the move from Tameside Hippodrome to the society's current performing venue, The George Lawton Hall in Mossley. He relinquished the post of Chairman in 2013 and is currently its Technical back stage Co-ordinator. Ladies and Gentlemen, It gives me very great pleasure to induct into the ACT Hallof Fame, Peter Marshall
