We are proud to announce the following members of the creative team for our 2009 Christmas Cabaret:
 Peter's first connection with Centre Stage was nearly 20 years ago when he 'adapted' a number of Gilbert & Sullivan classics - Starship Pinafore was a particular highlight! In 1991, he got the chance to direct his first show for the company, a camp classic called Little Mary Sunshine - and he hasn't looked back since. He has given up counting the shows and revues he has directed for the company but has loved every one of them (with special memories of Good News, Crazy For You, Little Shop of Horrors, A Slice of Saturday Night, West Side Story and A Chorus Line). When not rehearsing a show, Peter earns his money by teaching History at Beal High School where he also stages productions, such as Seussical the Musical and Fame. Peter feels very privileged to have worked with the many talented people Centre Stage attracts and to have made so many good friends in the process.
