ABOUT US
Richard Lill - Chairman
Having being part of the society for numerous years now, Richard has worked very hard in his first year of being Chairman. Always has a smile on his face, his approach is always warm, welcoming and he is always helping out, whether he is at rehearsals or during the society's social events. He has brought the society together to encourage having fun, make new friends, enjoy our hobby in the theatre world. It is a huge privilege to have him in the society.
His commitment is tremendous, not only does he make the over all decisions and chair our meetings, he takes great pride in being the Wardrobe and Wig Master of the HOPs society. With Richard you can be sure you never go on stage not looking the absolute part.
