Every year, we welcome new members into the company, whether it be on or offstage. We perform one annual large-scale musical or pantomime annually, and we support this effort with fundraising concerts and social events throughout the year. But we couldn't do it without our  incredibly active and dedicated committee who manage our budgets and all of our admin on a voluntary basis. Many of the committee are also in the cast, build the sets, manage the rehearsals, make the costumes...the list is endless.

George Mackie

Chair

George has been involved on the committee for a number of years as an ordinary member, treasure and as chair person. Like David Tennant he is back! And its an exiting year to be here. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the Musical will be BTC’s first musical since 2019 production of Hairspray.

Lauren Hendrie

DEPUTY CHAIR

Lorraine Kempton

SECRETARY

Lorraine has been Secretary for 8 years now and loves being part of the BTC Family. As well as creating Agendas and taking Minutes at our monthly Committee Meetings, she is responsible for booking auditions, informing of casting decisions and general queries. Her daughter Erin has been part of BTC for 9 years from the age of 6 and has learned so much in this time.

Bree Tulloch

TREASURER

Bill Hume

BUSINESS MANAGER

Bill, his sister and cousins debuted on the Bruntsfield Church hall stage over 60 years ago when their adult drama group (his aunt was a leading player) wanted younger folk on stage – the Pirate King was a memorable role! However helping dismantle the set afterwards was as much fun, and suitable plays for children were scarce. Bill’s uncle was President of the Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Edinburgh in the 1960s, which led to his growing involvement with staging and crewing G & S shows in the Gateway, Leith and King’s Theatre, and ultimately resulted in 35 years as Stage Manager for the Society’s annual production – and building the sets, too. In 1991, when technical help was sought by Balerno Community Songsters for their first ever musical Oliver! in Balerno High School Drama Studio, Bill was recruited. He has been the Company’s  Stage Manager ever since, and is also now our Business Manager.
