Sarah Powell - President
Adrian Bury - Vice President
Adrian has been involved in community theatre for over 10 years in over 25 productions, with credits for mic tech, crew, and light and sound design and operation. He has worked with several local theatre companies, including QP, Canberra Philharmonic, Free Rain and Phoenix Players. In year 12 he featured in his school production of My Fair Lady as Henry Higgins, but decided that being backstage was more his thing and hasn’t been seen on stage since (unless you look really closely at scene changes!) Out of the theatre, Adrian works as an IT guy in Defence. He is looking forward to working with the rest of the Committee to keep QP running smoothly.
David Tricks - Treasurer
David has been involved in theatre since he was in primary school, performing on stage until he discovered there were less stressful ways to be involved in productions. He has just finished working on his 95th show and has been involved in the Orchestra, Stage Crew, Lighting and Sound, Front of House, and Production Management. David has worked with almost every theatre company in Canberra including Queanbeyan Players, Canberra Philharmonic, Free Rain, Dramatic Productions, Ickle Pickle and many others, as well as Willoughby Theatre Company in Sydney. Outside of theatre David has been a long-term public servant working across a number of Federal departments in Sydney and Canberra, and a member of the NSW Rural Fire Service, something he started over 30 years ago.
David served on the Queanbeyan Players Committee for three years before taking a break and returning this year in the role of Treasurer, and he looks forward to contributing to Queanbeyan Players’ continuing role of bringing high quality musicals to Canberra and Queanbeyan.
