 Helen Parker
Helen first joined the Erewash Musical Society in 1989 for My Fair Lady after approaching the Society to help out with the make-up.  She was subsequently handed a book and asked to join in; since then she has had endless singing lessons to improve her singing voice and has won several trophies in various Arts Festivals for her singing.  She has appeared in many of the Erewash Musicals - mainly in the chorus, but has also appeared in Chorus Line and Chess with other societies.  Her comments are “I have made many wonderful friends with the Erewash Musical Society and feel very lucky to be part of such a great team of people!”
