FRANCES MACGECHAN
In remembrance of ❤️
Run At It SHOUTING was founded by the late Frances MacGechan in 1999. Frances worked passionately with members of the community, producing theatre and performing arts courses.
She appeared yearly in the local panto at The Haverhill Arts Center (Suffolk). Although, she was more famously known for telling everyone exactly what she thinks of them after a single glass of red. 😂
BRUCE ROBINSON
Patron 🎭
Bruce is the writer and director of the iconic film ‘Wthnail and I’. The late Frances MacGechan named Run At It SHOUTING after the in this movie back in 2007.
CHARLIE MACGECHAN
Created Run At It Shouting in rememberence of his late mother Frances.
Respongs dyslexically when texting/emailing. Dog lover. Workaholic. Day dreamer!
Charlie’s happy place is being tucked up in bed by 10:30pm dreaming about how he could have been the next Alan Shearer. 😴
COADY-LEIGH JARRAM
Resident History Geek who when not responding to your emails, is knee deep in a Wikipedia page reading about Elizabeth Woodville. Coady is able to engage in any conversation by talking about her Chi-devil dog, Basil and her extraordinary knowledge on Mary Queen of Scots. Pork Scratching obsessed. 🙈
SASHA LATOYA
The Chique geek. Lover of fashion, shopping and shoes.
Shower singer –
Her bathroom performances have been known to rival those of pop stars. Her rendition of “Shower Serenades” could bring tears to your eyes—mostly from laughter.
She usually has too much energy and once challenged a group of toddlers to a jumping-jack contest. She lost. And regrets taking part.
TOM NOYES
Tom is a musical director, writer and performer and has become a regular behind the keys at RAIS workshops. Usually found at someone’s piano, forcing Peep Show references on unsuspecting friends, or yelling thuggishly from the terraces at the London Stadium #comeonyouirons
NICOLE NABI
Nicole is most happy when on the sofa infront of Selling Sunset or Sex and the City (with some Reeses cupcakes in hand).
ALICE JEAN
Fantasy bookworm who doubles as a London foodie, with an obsession of TikTok. Rumor has it she can be found frequently at your local Slug & Lettuce, sipping on a Gordon’s Pink Spritz, nattering away about the latest Reality TV series. It is said that if you stand in front of a mirror and chant, “Strawberry Mojito” three times (because nobody likes a Bloody Mary) she’ll make a brief appearance, in 3-5 business days. 🎭
ALICE BRITTAIN
When asked for a ‘funny bio’ She replied…
Oh god I’m rubbish at these! Can you just put – “Sweet toothed, short sighted and just happy to be here.” Or copy and paste this paragraph. That’ll do the trick. 🤣
CELINE ARDEN
Celine hails from the exotic beach town of Poole, Dorset. When she’s not filming you’ll find her staring at the sea or planning a trip to go stare at the sea. A lover of beige foods with an encyclopedic knowledge for all things film. Perfect date night? A piece of toast, a film no one’s heard of with a side of dancing (Barefoot … on a beach). 🏝
DORTHEA DARBY
Dorthea is a Jamaican born British actress! She has an unexplainable American twang, why? We don’t know! She plays a few instruments and sings! In her spare time she writes and performs poetry as well as takes tumbling classes to improve her physical language, in the hopes of one day being the next in screen superhero! Also she loves the GYM!
CASSIUS HACKFORTH
Usually found amongst dogs & baked goods where he is undoubtedly most happiest. Adores a rom com, the coast, the countryside & Alan Rickman. Also happens to be very clumsy & has cracked his head open on 3 occasions (most recently trying to moon his friends through a door window).
JACK GOULDBOURNE
Extroverted by nature and plant based by choice. Jack has had 15 different side hustles in 9 years, the first of which was at Subway, where he was fired because he couldn’t cut the bread properly. When he’s not shooting you can usually find him cooking, gyming, or chilling with his child (a tuxedo cat called Mellow). 🐱
