Don made his first appearance as a Richmond Player in 1963. The production was Gilbert and Sullivan’s Trial by Jury which featured Don’s mother, Mavis as a member of the jury. Mavis was a member of the Hawkesbury Choral Society at the time. The show also featured Don’s twin brother John who played the parson, complete with an artificially-balded head. Don’s passion then as now was for music and there followed inclusions in the cast of My Fair Lady, Salad Days, South Pacific, to name but a few. In the 1977 production of My Fair Lady, Don showed his versatility appearing in the Cockney dancing scene and the Ascot scene as a waiter. Don recalls his delight at the fact that his father paid “good money” to hear him perform as sadly he passed away only months later. Don continued in various roles although his passion for playing in dance bands on Saturday nights precluded him from being involved in more RP shows. Most recently he played piano accompaniment at the 2015 Old Time Music Hall Theatre Restaurant.Don joined the Committee in 2021.
