Terry Chandler
Terry Chandler was a very well-known figure throughout Manchester dramatics, and the theatre is very proud that he called the Garrick "home". He performed on the Garrick stage many times, and will always be remembered for the role of Albin in La Cage Aux Folles, which became his after only the first of his 8 separate performances in that show.
Terry also served on the Executive Committee, and directed many plays and musicals at the Garrick and elsewhere. He won awards from NODA and GMDF both for acting and directing, and NODA established "The Terry Chandler Award for Best All Round Performer" in his memory.
Terry died tragically too early, of a heart attack in 2008, leaving his wife Anne and daughter Laura to carry on his support for the Garrick. See also this tribute from the Manchester Evening News.
