treasurer
​David Hall

David's first production with AMTC was our 2018 production of 'Legally Blonde'. His performance as Professor Callaghan marked a return to musical theatre after an 18 year gap. After seeing his wife Denise have so much fun with AMTC, he couldn't resist getting involved to re-live the glory days of his youth.  He has performed in around 30 musicals for various companies all around England, always moving on before the critics caught up with him.  David is the Producer of AMTC Cabaristas, our pop-up cabaret, and was elected as Treasurer in 2019.

production OFFICER/HONRARY MEMBER
​denyse coles

In the 15 years since Denyse joined AMTC, she has not only transformed our Wardrobe department, making 100s of costumes, she has also overseen the restructure of the committee to its current format, the modernising of the society from AMOS to AMTC, becoming a charity, performing countless shows that we had never performed before, moving to The Lights to perform and rehearse, the creation of Starlights and Cabaristas, and no small number of wonderful performances. There is no doubt that the AMTC that people know today would not be what it is without Denyse.
