Cast
Sue Backs (Olive Allison):
Sue recently had fun doing the Tomo Suru "About Love" Festival for which she won one of two mentions for "notable performance.” She is a graduate of the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in New York (where she won their only scholarship the "Saax Bradbury" to attend The Royal Academy in London). She has worked in film, television and theatre across Canada. Sue is thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of a new theatre with such amazing people! Many thanks to her wonderful family for their continued love and support.
Paul Beckett (Bill Livingston):
Paul has been acting for a short but busy three years. He started in 2013 with Theatre In The Country at the prodding of their artistic director, Reg Parks, and his daughter Madelaine. He has worked with TITC (Bob Cratchitt, A Christmas Carol; AP Doolittle, My Fair Lady; Captain von Trapp, The Sound of Music; Clown, The 39 Steps; Clarence, It's A Wonderful Life) and around the Fraser Valley (Captain Corcoran, HMS Pinafore - Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan; Bobby Holland, Office Hours - Fraser Valley Stage; AJ & Ferlin, Funny Little Thing Called Love - Surrey Little Theatre). His most recent work was with Kate Muchmore Woo as Harold Hill in The Music Man. The Women of Lockerbie presents a whole new challenge for which he wishes to thank Kate for her belief in him, and his sweetheart Heather for allowing him to spend so many evenings in rehearsal with so many beautiful women!
Nikki Bryce (Woman 1):
Nikki has been seen as Valerie, the past-her-prime actress turned murderer, in Stage 43's "Murder on the Rerun” and as the sinister Nurse Anne in Millennium Players' "Tomb with a View." Nikki has embarked on a new career as she has wanted to be an actor since she was eight years old. Now she has taken the plunge and is relishing each moment. From the bottom of her heart Nikki sends a big "Thank you!" to mentor Jay Brazeau, life-changer Taylor Hewstan, Andrew McIlroy, Omari Newton, Mark Brandon, Sharon, many friends, and to her husband Darrell. Nikki is grateful she has been chosen to work with this talented and committed cast to share such an important message.

Stephen is a Hydrostatic Cylinder Recertification Technician by day, and actor by night. In the winter he can usually be found doing pantos with the Royal Canadian Theatre Company, and he spends his summers in Queen's Park doing Shakespeare with his co-produced company Shadows and Dreams Co. He does both of these things with his family, all of whom outshine him in every way. His favourite roles include Hamlet, Buttons, and Felix Unger.
Alaina Holland (Madeline Livingston):
After a long, self-inflicted hiatus from theatre, Alaina went on her first audition in 2003. She shook like a leaf for the first time in years and was immediately hooked!

She is proud to be a part of the inaugural production for the Lock & Key Theatre and wants to thank Kate and Jenessa for this wonderful opportunity to help interpret a beautiful piece of writing.

She would like to thank her wonderful family and friends for their unwavering support!
