Jim Luckett

Jim was a member of the Garrick for over 35 years, starting in the 1950s.

He was an Honorary Life Member and a very hard-working volunteer, having served on most committees both Front of House and Backstage, as well as appearing in many plays.

He won a Manchester Evening News Oscar in 1960 for his performance in Hot Summer Night and also appeared in The Rainmaker, which was the first Garrick play to win MEN's "Best Play" Oscar in 1958.

This was a time when the MEN took a keen interest in amateur theatre ... sadly no longer the case.
