Little Theatre Company I am delighted to presents welcome you to the Palace Theatre for this production of 'The Witches of Eastwick' by the Little Theatre Company. For those of you who managed to see our April production of 'Avenue Q' it will come as no surprise that we love a challenge. However, expert puppetry is made to look simple by the skill our cast have had to master for this show - flying! This wonderful show has been a pleasure to rehearse and has become a favourite of many A Musical Comedy in the cast. Packed full of wonderful music, excellent choreography and magical effects, I'm sure it will live long in your memory, too.

Tim Cater as Darryl Van Horne Tim joined LTC in 2004 since that time he has been lucky to play a whole host of different and exciting characters. Having seen 'The Witches of Eastwick' in London over 13 years ago and several local productions, it has been a dream of Tim's to play the devilishly great role of Darryl Van Horne (made famous by the legendary Jack Nicholson in the movie). His acting credits include: Horner (Lust), The Cat (HONK!), Sky Masterson (Guys & Dolls), Eric 'Rubber Legs' Devine (Slice of Saturday Night), Orin - The Dentist (Little Shop of Horrors), Buddy Holly (The Buddy Holly Story) and, most recently, Brian (Avenue Q). Directing credits: 'Guys & Dolls', 'Oklahoma!', 'Mack & Mabel', 'Dracula' and 'HONK!', all for LTC. Sculpt the larger life. Dare the larger dare. Love the larger me! And live the wildest of dreams! Lianne Larthe as Alexandra Spofford Lianne joined LTC 6 years ago and 'The Witches of Eastwick' will be her 10th show with the company. During this time she has been fortunate enough to play some fantastic roles, including Mimsie (Summer Holiday), Lottie (Mack & Mabel), Ronnette (Little Shop of Horrors), Sylvia (All Shook Up), Vampire Bride (Dracula), Maggie Jones (42nd Street) and, most recently, Trekkie Monster's better side in 'Avenue Q'. Lianne is delighted to be playing one of the witches as it's been one of her favourite shows for many years. Also,
