personal memories of Alan Harris. He was
an inspiration to everyone in the drama
group. Alan had such enthusiasm, drive,
persuasive charms, high standards of
production and a great and infectious love
of the drama work at Tupton, which he led
for so many years. He had that special
quality of knowing just what our loyal
audience would enjoy.
He worked tirelessly to ensure that all
aspects of each production - the set and
staging, the light and sound, cast and
costumes, publicity and refreshments and,
most importantly, the telling of the story
came together during 'play week'.
Alan at times could be a demanding, yet
always caring and considerate director. He
simply wanted the BEST from us all! Alan
was always appreciative of everyone's
contributions and knew the value of team
work.
He always made you feel involved. As we
work together to rehearse our current play,
Alan's guiding spirit will never be far from
our collective thoughts.
