The Crucible – our team

The Team at Masquerade is a Crucible. It is constantly churning, transitioning, members moving in, moving out. There are founding fathers, regular members, long-standing members, temporary members, youth members…

Some current members have started as children’s theatre incumbents, moved up to teen theatre at MYT and now graduated to mainstream Masquerade.

Some are members, not always active, but an eternal part, having to move along their life and career path to climes regional, national and international. But all stay connected. So, here goes the growing list:
