THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS

Caleb has been performing since the age of eight and has loved being involved in local theatre ever since. His recent stage credits include Frozen Jr., Radium Girls, Popstars, The Wedding Singer and & Juliet. While he is most at home performing, Caleb has also stepped behind the scenes, recently directing The Little Mermaid and writing and directing the original school production Back in Time.

He works as a performing arts teacher, where he loves helping young performers discover their confidence and creativity. Caleb has also worked with several local theatre groups, including Warragul Youth Theatre, Stepping Stones and Latrobe Theatre Company. 

He feels honoured to be part of this production and to bring Christopher’s story to life. Caleb understands how important this story is to so many people and hopes it resonates with audiences. The Curious Incident marks his third production with WTC.

Returning to the stage after many years away, Dan has recently focused on producing, writing and directing. Dan has extensive experience in drama and performance education, facilitation and creative consulting. His experience spans large outdoor events, stage productions, actor training, tutoring and community arts projects. He is co-director of Nanoo Nanoo with Eloisa Tripodi and has served as Festival Director of the Gippsland Theatre Festival, 10inTen and First Time Theatre and was the Gippsland director for the statewide tour of DUST. He has performed in pantomimes, touring shows, and has written and produced theatre locally for many years. His plays have been performed in Melbourne, Sydney, Brighton (UK) and the Edinburgh Fringe. He is delighted to be back on stage surrounded by such talented people.

This is her fifth production with Warragul Theatre Company, previously appearing as ‘Brooke’ in Noises Off (2024), ‘Ela’ in Charley’s Aunt (2023), ‘Cecily’ in The Importance of Being Earnest (2022) and ‘Stella’ in A Streetcar Named Desire (2019).

She is currently Assistant Director for Off The Leash Theatre’s The Wolves.

Elyse has performed steadily with local companies since 2018. She was most recently seen in Warragul Theatre Company's productions Noises Off, Charley’s Aunt, and Jesus Christ Superstar and with Off The Leash in Cosi and Ravaged, part of the 2025 Bitesize collection. Elyse is a passionate advocate of local theatre, especially for youth. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is one of Elyse’s most beloved books, and she is delighted to have a part in bringing the story to the stage with such a gifted cast, crew and production team.

Sharryn makes a return to WTC after a hiatus. Sharryn extends her thanks and gratitude to the incredible cast and crew of this production. Huge thanks to George for his directorial vision and passion for this play. Having seen the 2015 production in London and taught the text in senior English for many years, it has been a privilege to bring Actor 1 to life and the many and varied characters for this role. From a spurned wife, officious maths teacher to a smart alec shopkeeper, there are so many people in Christopher’s world who are both shaped by him and for him. Sharryn is always appreicative of family and friends for their support of local theatre. Recent theatre involvement includes Moartz’s Chalkface (2026) and Stop. Rewind (2025) as well as Off the Leash’s Heartbreak Choir (2024).

Dom joined WTC in 2006, as part of the ensemble for their production of Anything Goes. He continued his ensemble work for WTC in Cats, Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera. Dom had supporting roles in Guys and Dolls (‘Harry the Horse’) and Joseph and His Technicolour Dreamcoat (‘Reuben’). In WTC’s Carmen he played ‘Escamillo’, and the dual roles of ‘Ajax’ and the ‘Fisherman’ in WTC’s Paris (2016). In 2017 Dom played the the stunningly beautiful and coquettish ‘Katarina’ in Songcontest (with the assistance of lots of makeup and a great wig – the beard and legs were all his!). Dom played ‘Borachio’ in WTC’s 2018 production of Much Ado About Nothing, ‘Theo’ (GAT nominated) in Off the Leash’s 2019 production of Female of the Species, and ‘Henry’ in Off the Leash’s Cosi (2022).

Andrew has been acting in Gippsland and beyond for 4 years now, starting with Warragul Theatre Company in 2023 in Charley’s Aunt. He has since appeared in Noises Off for WTC and last year played Mark in Things I Know to be True for Off The Leash. He has also taken his talents out of Gippsland with roles in the Basin’s Jimmie the Beatle and 1812’s Clue the Play. Andrew is ready to show off talents you’ve never seen from him such as playing intoxicated (not since Jimmie the Beatle) two policemen (not since Clue the Play) and a man who wears noteworthy socks (this is him on an average day).

John has performed in several plays and musicals and is delighted to be once again treading the boards with such a wonderful cast in Warragul Theatre Company's The Curious Incident of the Dog in The Night-Time.

This is Esther's third production with Warragul Theatre Company after performing in Legally Blonde (2024), the Wedding Singer (2025) and more recently in The Hunchback of Notre Dame with Class Act Productions earlier this year.

Esther is very excited to bring this show to life as a member of the ensemble and can't wait to share it with an audience.

Deb has performed in community theatre for many years both in Gippsland and Geelong. This will be her sixth play with Warragul Theatre Company, having most recently appeared as ‘Martha’ in The Games Afoot in 2025, ‘Dotty’ in Noises Off in 2024, and ‘Lady Bracknell’ in The Importance of Being Earnest in 2022. After reading the book by Mark Haddon many years ago, Deb was excited to be cast in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and is once again enjoying playing part in a talented and committed ensemble.
