KEN HINDLE This induction into the ACT Hall of Fame goes to an individual who first appeared on stage in 1981, and from then on was hooked. Playing Dame for Ulverston Pantomime Society for twenty plus years he appeared in his first musical, Jesus Christ Superstar in 1983. He has appeared in one-act and three-act plays for about 10 years as well as designing and building sets for several of them. He has served on Ulverston Amateurs Committee since 1987 and has been an active fund raiser procuring several grants to help productions and to benefit the Community Theatre in Ulverston. He was always finding time to play cameo roles and is a dedication chorus member. He is also show set co-ordinator and has over the years designed sets and built them, some in his front room. He constructed a 12ft Noah's Ark in his dining room and built a two-storey set for Goodnight Mr Tom which had to be dismantled each day to allow his hotel diners to eat breakfast. Most people sightsee on holiday but not Ken. He likes to seek out the unusual or hard to get items to bring home for sets and props. In 1999 he was elected Chair and has helped guide the society into the 21st Century. In 2018 he became a life member of Ulverston Amateurs and deemed it a great honour to be asked. Since its inauguration he has been a member of ACT and attended every Members’ Day meeting and several of the Awards nights. So keen is he that he talked his wife into changing their Winter Holidays from November to December to enable them to attend Party Nights to support his society and the event. Ken is now a trustee bringing his wealth of experience helping to guide the Association forward. Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome on stage Ken Hindle.
