The Acting Up! team come from different churches and have very different backgrounds, but they all share one thing in common - apart from their love of drama, they all love God and want to share that with others in ways that are relevant and fun!

I grew up in Arkansas, USA, and have been acting since my teens. I love demonstrating God’s love through drama.
I’m originally from Yorkshire and have been acting since secondary school. I trained as a librarian and now work in a local school.
I am from Brazil and I am a sinner, saved by the grace of God! I, also, am co-pastor of New Covenant Fellowship Church in Luton.
I'm a writer and teacher living in Luton, but working internationally with young people and adults. I write scripts and keep this web-site almost up to date...
I grew up in Hertfordshire and when my day job gives me the chance, I love going with Acting Up! to film the assemblies. I’m a big fan!
Hi, I’m Mike! I’m 72 years old and young at heart. I love children and am privileged to be a member of Acting Up! and to take the love of Jesus Christ into the schools. I am enjoying being a part of the team.
I've long been involved in drama productions, from the times I appeared in shows at secondary school to the present, when I often perform with Harpenden Light Operatic Society. While teaching at The King's School in Harpenden, I directed a number of musicals and am now delighted to be performing with Acting Up!
Hi, I’m Katie. I’m a wife, mother and volcanologist. I fell into Acting Up! by accident after taking on its administration and have discovered my inner actor.
