Carpe Diem Productions

Carpe Diem in a nutshell . . .

Peter writes the music and directs vocal rehearsals;
Dorothy plays piano for rehearsals;
David ensures we have a rehearsal space when we need it and helps co-ordinate publicity, making sure that we have tea and bickies at rehearsals;
Jan keeps track of the money;
Iain directs the company on stage and helps co-ordinate publicity.

For the Fringe, it's all hands on deck.

Who We Are

Peter D Robinson(composer)

Peter studied Music and English at university and is Principal Teacher of Curriculum (English and Literacy) at a Fife secondary school.

As a singer and actor, he has performed with many companies in Edinburgh and Fife, and is often to be found in the pit as MD for amateur Musical and Operatic companies.

Dorothy Moncrieff

Dorothy has played as accompanist for many of Fife's amateur Musical and Operatic companies.  She is a primary teacher in her spare time.

Iain Hughes

Iain is Rector of a Fife secondary school, but still finds time for singing, acting, choreographing, directing. Iain is also a consummate juggler: he has to be as he is often rehearsing several shows at the one time!

David Mitchinson

David is a Primary Head Teacher in Fife and is no stranger to treading the boards.  Before moving east, David performed with several amateur companies in the West.  He is also a busy tenor, travelling around the country as a member of the RSNO Chorus.

Jan Stuart

Jan is no stranger to musical theatre, having played many principal roles in amateur companies in Fife.  As well as being a fine comic actress, Jan is in much demand as dresser and stylist for cabaret and corporate entertainment. Jan's husband, Alan, is The Mr Stuart of Stuarts the Bakers and (if you know your publicity) the butchers too!)
