The Team at CMT

Chiltern Musical Theatre has been around in one guise or another for many decades, and as such, we have a wealth of experience and knowledge. Some of our members have been around the society since childhood as their parents were members! Others have been around since the 1990's and have worked their way up in the society, from being chorus members to taking on honorary positions on the Committee to writing and directing shows. But we are always striving to make CMT the best it can be, providing the best in amateur entertainment! To contact a member of the committee, please email us at chilternmusicaltheatre@gmail.com

Meet Chris, a passionate individual whose journey with musical theatre began in childhood and has evolved into a lifelong commitment to rebuilding and enhancing the musical theatre society he holds dear. From early days on the stage, portraying diverse roles, Chris has immersed himself in the world of musical theatre.

His commitment to the growth and prosperity of the society is evident in his tireless efforts and willingness to go above and beyond to achieve its goals.

Beyond the stage and his new role as Chairman, Chris is a postman of longstanding. He is currently channeling his energy into a different kind of performance—training for his second marathon. This endeavour is not just a personal challenge but also an earnest ambition to raise awareness and support for the Alzheimer's Society. We wish him a safe and successful run as he combines his passion for running with a cause close to his heart.

Chris is more than a Chairman; he is a dynamic individual whose dedication to the arts, coupled with his philanthropic pursuits, exemplifies the spirit of our musical theatre community.
