Mary+Greco+On+Stage+Now

Mary Greco - Principal

Mary trained at Corona Theatre School and made her professional debut at the age of eleven, playing Pepper in the West End production of Annie. Other theatre credits include lead roles in Bugsy Malone, Hello Dolly! and Cinderella. She has also appeared in various theatre, television and radio productions. ​

Mary went on to teach for Stagecoach for four years, where she created their Early Stages programme.  She then taught Jazz and Tap at Corona and co-ordinated pupils’ LAMDA Acting examinations. Alongside her work for Corona, Mary introduced Drama lessons at Bishopsgate School, directing all school productions for children aged four to thirteen.

In 2005 Mary was awarded a Master of Arts Degree in Theatre Directing. She has since directed productions at the BAC, the Canal Cafe Theatre and The King’s Head. She directed and produced three productions at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, two of which played to sell-out audiences and received five-star reviews.

 

Amelia Greco Westwood - Teacher

Daughter of Mary Greco, Amelia trained in musical theatre at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. She is also a qualified primary school teacher. Amelia has been dedicated to singing and musical theatre from an early age. Alongside teaching for On-Stage Now, Amelia works professionally as an actor and a vocal/singing coach. Acting credits include: Princess Jill in “Jack and the Beanstalk” (Groundlings Theatre), Cathy in "The Last Five Years" (The Electric Theatre), Gwendolen in "The Importance of Being Earnest" (Tivoli Theatre), Polly in "Crazy For You" (Rhoda McGaw Theatre) and Lipochka in "A Family Affair" (Battersea Arts Centre). Amelia loves helping our students improve their confidence and performance technique. Amelia's favourite thing about On-Stage Now is the intensive show in a week summer school. "It gives the students a real insight into what a professional rehearsal period feels like and it's amazing to see how much they can develop in just one week!”

 

Naomi Cassidy - Teacher

Naomi trained at St Marys University and has a degree in Drama and Applied Theatre. She is also a qualified Higher Level Teaching Assistant and is training to become a Secondary Drama Teacher.
