An Early Starring Role by Jodie
Jodie Taibi is teaching Drama to Further Stages in Yarm and Darlington. During a recent sort-out I found this photograph taken of Jodie when she starred as Fifi Lamarr in the first-ever murder mystery project that we ever ran with senior Stage 3 students at the time (Further Stages was not in existence). There were two public performances - one in Darlington Further Education College for friends and family and one in a Middlesbrough pub as a fund-raiser for a charity. Fifi was the one everyone loved to hate - giving plenty of suspects when she was murdered. Thomas Guest pictured in this photo went into further Performing Arts training and then also spent some time teaching Singing in a Stagecoach school in Highgate London but I believe that he is back up in the N.E. now. The third Ex-student is Laura Jones. Happy Days!!
