About Me
Helen is a versatile and experienced actress and singer who has been involved in the entertainment world as a performer and teacher/director for over 20 years.
Helen set up 'Act One', a children's theatre company based in Fife, when she was just 17 years old and, following the company's success and high standard of performance, Helen was invited to take up post as the after-school drama teacher at Inverkeithing High School. Helen taught in the school's Community Centre for 2 years before moving on to run a 2-month drama programme for kids in Minnesota, USA.
In 2001, Helen moved to Miami to work as a singer and entertainer for Celebrity Cruises and, during her time on board, she had the pleasure of entertaining Patrick Swayze, Richard Roundtree, Molly Shannon and many other celebrities (including Michael Jordan – which is a story in itself so ask her about it if you see her!). In 2003, she won the ‘Circle of Excellence Award’ for Entertainment and won the ‘Entertainment Dept. Employee of the Month’ accolade a total of 4 times (Cruise Director’s pet?).
On her return from the cruise ship life, Helen embarked on a series of one-woman shows and created ‘An Evening of Barbra Streisand’, ‘An Evening of The Carpenters’ and ‘An Evening of Eva Cassidy’ as well as ‘Divas!’ which she performed as a special one-off fundraiser for Cancer Research UK raising over £500 in an hour!
Helen was only home from her cruise ship life for a year or so before she moved back to the USA in 2006 to continue her acting training in Los Angeles.
Helen performs regularly as an actor and singer, is a theatre reviewer for What’s on Stage and Edinbugh247.com at the Edinburgh Fringe and is the elected Secretary for the East of Scotland General Branch of Equity, the actor/performers union.
Helen is proud to be a member of Equity, the Equity Singers Register and the Musicians Union and she can be found in Spotlight Actresses.
