Hi there, Cumbrian lass, Gerry here. Now residing (29 years!) in Sunny Southport.
I’ve had a career of two halves. The first half spanning three decades working as an actor, singer and dancer performing in Theatre, TV, Film, Variety and Cabaret. I also enjoyed a number of years in performance management, producing, directing and choreographing shows, prior to running my own actors agency.
In 2007 I retrained as a counsellor and went on to become the Online Director of a national counselling service for children and young people.
I returned to acting in 2018 and also commenced training as a writer. My first short play, suitably entitled, ‘Her First Time’, was performed at Hope Street Theatre in Liverpool last year. .
Having turned the big 60 in July this year, I’ve vowed only to work on stuff that I feel excited and enthused about. Currently, I’m working on transforming my short play into a six part web series, which I aim to produce and film in 2024.
