Meet RICHARD CRUM who plays the role of Jack in Silver Spotlight Theatre’s production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods.
“This is my first foray into theatre in London and I am very excited about the opportunity. My theatre background started in earnest in Bracebridge, Ontario. I was newly married, and my wife was the Musical Director for the yearly musical, so I was drafted into the shows. We did Oklahoma, Guys and Dolls, Kiss Me Kate, The Music Man, Brigadoon and You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown. I also did a show in Gravenhurst called On the Sixth Day and Fiddler on the Roof in Huntsville.
After moving to Newbury, Ontario, I participated in Something’s Afoot in Dutton, Joseph, and Jesus Christ Superstar in Chatham. I was also in Superstar, Joseph, Fiddler, and Guys and Dolls in Ridgetown with the Ridge Players. I got involved with a local Newbury group and did Oliver and Fiddler again. I also directed Godspell and The Music Man with this group.
I heard about Silver Spotlight Theatre through a friend, and I am so glad she told me about it. Although I wasn’t familiar with Into The Woods before auditions, it has become one of my favourites. I’m pretty sure I would not have had the opportunity to play Jack in any other theatre group. The cast and crew are amazing and very supportive.
If you’ve ever thought you might like to get involved with community theatre, join us. You will have a blast!”
