THIS merry band of performers caused a singular sensation when they appeared in A Chorus Line in September 1995.
Visiter photographer Gareth Jones caught this image of the Southport Arts Centre Youth Theatre as they prepared for the production, directed by Suzy Walker, now Sefton community arts officer.
Smiling broadly in the centre of the back row is Jonny Sheldon, who played Mike, the tap dancer hoping for a part in a new production.
Jonny went on to appear in West End shows and is currently co-organising a summer school in Southport to pass on his skills to upcoming talents.
He told LookBack: “I remember this really well, and a lot of the cast have gone on to work in theatre. Andrew Martin (second left) has appeared on TV shows, and John Coates (third right) is still in the shows as far as I know.
“Colette Bibby (second right) worked in the arts as well, and I’m sure a lot of the others did too.”
l Do you recognise yourself, or one of your family or friends, in this photo? Did you or they go on to success in the arts, or are they happily leading an altogether different life 12 years on?
