Howard Beard has been our President and Narrator for many years. He often helps out as a major or minor soloist when a suitable part is available. He sang the parts of Orpheus and Mercury in our last production. Howard has connections with many Stroud organisations and has been the researcher and compiler for a number of books of photographs about the Stroud Valleys. He sang the part of Sandy in Brigadoon.

Sylvia Beard was narrator for one production when Howard was unable to play his usual part. She was so popular that we now have Howard and Sylvia working together. Sylvia also takes some solo parts. She sang the part of the girl in the tavern in The New Moon and Cupid, God of Love in our Orpheus production.The Beards have a talent for delivering the narration in a way which will inform and amuse their audience.
