Brian K. Hammond, President
Brian is a native Montrealer, born and raised in the east end of the city. His start in stagework began at the early age of 10 when asked to imitate Gracie Fields singing “Burlington Bertie from Bow”. Real theatre life began on a makeshift stage in a church basement, evolved to a very successful 24 year run as the popular MC of Becket Players’ “CABARET”, and then to Lakeshore Players in 1998. Between then and now, he has been on stage for a Centaur fund-raiser, likewise with Geordie Productions , Hudson Players and three productions for Lakeshore. His “role” as President is now in its 2nd year run.
