Brian Moore

Brian was introduced to the Garrick in 1965 by his then girlfriend, soon to be wife, Ann, who was auditioning for the pantomime The Wizard of Oz. By the time they left that evening, Brian had been cast as The Scarecrow and had become a fully paid-up member of the theatre.

Brian went on to act in or be involved with dozens of plays and musicals over the next 50+ years.

After his final show, when he was in his late 70s, he turned his hand to assisting many other areas of the theatre, including the bar and, with the help of others, running the Sunday Jazz lunches.

Finally, after the refurbishment of the theatre, Brian took over the running of the confectionery kiosk. He introduced the selling of ice creams within the auditorium during the interval, making in his time many thousands of pounds for the Garrick.

When not at the theatre, Brian could be found at the golf course enjoying the outdoor life. Brian was delighted to have been made an honorary Life Member of the Garrick theatre.
