Sue has been involved with Starmaker since 2014 when her youngest daughter joined the cast for Honk! She has been on various committees but made it a family affair at Starmaker when she became PA for the shows and her eldest daughter started doing backstage volunteering for Joseph a whilst the youngest was on stage. She went on to become Welfare Officer and then took on the role of Manager of Starmaker Stage School. In 2020 Sue stepped into the vacant role of Chair and is currently also Welfare Officer again.
Although she works full time and runs a busy household with 2 dogs, in her spare time she volunteers with other local charities as a licenced chaperone and is often found backstage - and once even got Katie involved as a dog chaperone for a show!

Tom is most happy on his computer but will happily get involved in most technical things that are asked of him. He lives and breaths programming having spent 6 years studying computing. In his spare time he likes to design and print 3D items, so do get in touch if you have any 3D printing requirements. Tom's younger brothers are in the theatre company and Stage School and he was encouraged to join the committee by his mother Vicki! Tom also enjoys helping during show week and you can normally find him in the tech box doing lighting.

Trevor enjoys chaperoning the children during show week and has built up a great repour with them. He would like to remind you that when you send the boys with sweets during show week, they have to share them with him!
