Amy has always enjoyed singing and had a lifelong ambition to be in a musical, but apart from a brief stint as Sandy in Grease aged 9 this dream was unrealised until auditioning for Little Shop of Horrors in 2011. Here Amy found a love for theatre and hasn't had a month since where she hasn't been involved in a production either on or off stage. Having been with ETC from its very beginning as a founding member, Amy loves the friendships she has developed and the memories she has made, and is so proud of the fabulous shows she has had the privilege to be part of so far. She is a talented singer and performer but has also built up skills and confidence and has become someone who can direct and produce shows too! She is a key member of ETC and a big part of the reason the group has flourished alongside her other dedicated committee members. 

Dan started performing at the age of 13, and his stage debut was as the Cowardly Lion in South Wigston High School’s production of The Wizard of Oz. From there, Dan's always been drawn to performance. Following his passion he went on to gain a BA (hons.) in Theatre Arts from Middlesex University. Dan completed an internship with Opera East as a touring theatre technician and as a general technician for Secret Cinemas Theatrical experiences. Dan often takes the role of Musical Director for Ensemble Theatre Company and the members are grateful for the time and energy he puts in to supporting them to develop their singing abilities. Dan is a classically trained singer and has toured the country performing in countless Cities. Theatre has given him some of his fondest memories and it’s where he met his wife! Dan cannot imagine his life without the thrill of the Theatre.

Sam joined ETC in 2022 having been involved in amateur dramatics since the age of 3! She has performed in a variety of shows including Pantomimes and Musicals as well as studying Musical Theatre at College. Sam joined ETC to meet new people with the same passion for theatre whilst broadening her performance experience, and was excited to be cast in her first ever play during Blithe Spirit. Sam particularly enjoys singing and comedic acting. Sam feels ETC is her home away from home and the group are grateful and lucky to have her dedicated and talented input as a member both on and off stage!

Jenni has been a valued member of ETC since its creation and has held various roles on the committee over the years, all of which she does to an exceptional standard. Jenni has always enjoyed performing and this began back in infant school when she was cast as one of the angels in the school Nativity. She has always been a lover of musicals after seeing her first show ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’ at the Palladium when she was 7. Jenni is so proud to be part of a group that has so much fun doing what they love and feels this is clear to see in the fantastic shows ETC produce. Jenni is a talented performer and has portrayed a variety of roles including leads in Blithe Spirit and Flint Street Nativity as well as various singing roles. Jenni is a joy to have as a member and exemplifies the ETC values of committment and supportiveness. 

Laura has always enjoyed performing. From a very young age she was creating shows to perform with her sister to her parents and grandparents in the comfort of her front room. At the age of 7 she starred as the lead role of Mary in the school Nativity and at 11 she knew she loved the stage even more when she had a key role in the Year 6 production. She went on to do GCSE drama and A Level performing arts as well as performing across Europe with her schools performing arts group for 4 years. At university she joined a dance group but missed the drama side of things. Once qualifying as a teacher she began to produce and direct productions with children at her primary school and still does this many years later with up to 90 children in the cast. She has loved every moment of ETC since she has joined. Originally, when joining, she insisted she would never want to sing a solo; however, thanks to the support and guidance of fellow members, Laura recently played the title character of Charity in the musical Sweet Charity! .  "ETC is like a little family who all have completely different lives but the love of performing brings them altogether and the bond we share as friends is unlike any other!"
