I started acting in 2020 taking small extras roles in film and tv. After some very intense acting lessons, graduated to stage acting initially in small parts in Merchant of Venice then to being the Professor in Jerusalem, Headmaster in History Boys and various other roles to the most recent being Elgin, the Butler in Agatha Christie’s Spiders Web last August.

Prior to acting, I spent 52 years in Marine Engineering working for, mostly, the terminally ungrateful. This is better!

Welcome to the show! My name is Jack Chen - Sinclair, I'm 22 years old and have been acting since I was 16. As a creative I've done a lot of fun projects.

I've done musical theatre (Chess the Musical at Aotea Centre), lots of community theatre with companies such as Stray Theatre (The UOA Theatre Company) or the Arden ensemble. (Had a great season as Malvolio in Twelfth Night), as well as some voice over (For The Hand That Locks the Holding Pen, in the fringe festival last year). On the production side I prop master (which is how I justify my tendency to hoard cool things), write plays and do a little directing! (I have a real knack for writing short plays).

It's my first time doing theatre on the Shore and it's been a real joy to work with Company to put on The 39 Steps.  I've had so much fun over the past couple months crafting and creating all of my many roles into fun and interesting characters. Whether large or small, every character is a delight to play and the cast are fantastic to work with.

So sit back, relax and get ready to unravel the mystery of The 39 Steps with us

Charlie is delighted to be performing her first show with Company Theatre.

Charlie picked up theatre again last year for the first time in six years since her high school drama days. Debuting as Benvolio in a University rendition of Romeo and Juliet last August, she’s reignited a whirlwind romance with being back on the stage.

The 39 Steps will be her fifth show since her debut, continuing the trend of never having to use her normal accent for a role.

Rebecca has wanted to be an actor ever since she worked out that it's just the grown-up version of playing pretend. After completing a BA majoring in Classics and Theatre at Victoria University of Wellington, she's returned to the Shore and continued having fun on stage. 

Recent roles include Northumberland in Hal v Hotspur (an adaptation of Henry IV Part 1), Olivia in Twelfth Night and Ursula in Much Ado About Nothing, all with the Arden Ensemble. After this run of Shakespeare, she's excited to take on something completely different while getting back to what performing is really about - wearing a lot of hats and doing silly voices. When she's not performing, she works in accessibility, editing and producing closed captions for broadcast TV.
