🌟 Today’s spotlight is on Roseanna and Glyn Juliff!🌟
This dedicated duo not only serve on the Andover Musical Theatre Company committee, but have also made a tremendous impact on Starlights this year…
Roseanna took on the additional role of Starlights Coordinator back in June, and has done a miraculous job of managing all the rehearsal logistics and parent communication, as well as her usual role of Production Officer, organising scenery, props and costume! Whilst Glyn, our charity Secretary, stepped in at the last minute to take over choreography.
Together with juggling their full time teaching jobs in local schools, and their own two young children, they have demonstrated remarkable commitment!
Our charity Chair, Paul, shares our gratitude: “A heartfelt thanks to Roseanna and Glyn for your unwavering support. Being on the committee and producing a show is a feat in itself, but as a husband-and-wife team, your dedication reaches another level entirely. We truly appreciate all that you both bring to Starlights.”
Let’s give a big round of applause to this incredible duo for their hard work and dedication! 👏💫

Youth Theatre for Andover
Since Andover Musical Theatre Company became a charity in 2010, one of our charitable aims was to educate and encourage young people into the theatre and it has longbeen a goal of our commitee to create a youth section of our theatre company.
In 2017 year, thanks to the very generous donations of Test Valley Borough Council and the Andover Rotary Club Inner Wheel, we were very pleased to launch AMTC Starlights.
Our inaugeral production of Joseph was very well received, with audiences impressed by the level of talent,con dence, and overa quality of the show.
So it is with great delight that we bring to you our second production, Grease. The last 6 months have been a blast as we have had the priveledge of working with some incredibly talented young people. For some, born naturals seeking a career on the stage, while for others it has been a new challenge, a learning curve, and it has been a pleasure to see them grow throughout rehearsals.
Taking part in a show like this not only helps develop acting, singing and dancing skills, but also helps kids to learn to focus andconcentrate on learning lines and moves, grow with confidence, and most important of all - make new friends.
