Gwynneth Thomas

Eliza Doolittle

My name is Gwynneth and I am 18 years old. I started doing drama at the age of 12 and they haven't been able to pull me off the stage since. Career- wise i look forward to being able to learn as much as i can about the world of writing and performance once i have matriculated. In the meantime i am using my spare time to indulge in my passions such as; Acting , singing, writing and dancing. If not then you'll probably find me with my nose buried in a good book.

Arno van den Bergh

Colonel Pickering

Arno is excited to be returning to the stage, 9 years after acting in Around the World in 80 days. Drama has played a huge role in his life, helping with confidence, creativity and public speaking. He is grateful to be saved by faith in Christ and His work on the cross. Though Colonel Pickering does not express many opinions in the play, Arno believes that the character of Pickering is very well matched to that of his own disposition. He also enjoys flirting with his wife on stage.

Joshua Britz

Alfred Doolittle

Joshua is adventurer at heart with a passion for the outdoors - especially climbing, hiking, running, and caving. By day he works as a web developer and by night he sleeps (duh). When he get’s the chance, he enjoys reading fantasy or theology, cooking, making coffee, and singing. He has been doing drama since the tender age of 11 (although his mother might argue that he’s been doing it far longer than that).

Andrew Clark

Freddy Eynsford-Hill

Andrew is 19 years and this is his first time doing drama. He is currently studying sport science at Tuks which is a result for his love for sport, but to be more specifically, cricket. He will also play golf at any given opportunity. Even with his love for sport Andrew does enjoy taking part in new activities that aren’t related with sport. This is how he found an interest in some cultural activities such as choir, and is why you find him here in dramabuzz senior.

Danita van den Bergh

Mrs. Pearce/Bystander

Rebecca Britz

Mrs. Higgins

Rebecca Britz is playing in her 13th Drama Buzz production. She has been acting since the ripe age of 8 and is now a master of the art. She is not as old as Mrs. Higgins, but she is just as fun. And although she has the patience of a saint, she is not afraid to use a book to put you back in place.

Tyler Komen

Sarcastic Bystander

I am very passionate about drama. I have completed 2 degrees in performance arts, one in teaching and one in performing. I love creating from culinary delights, artworks and writing to producing. I write scripts and books and I one day hope to travel the world teaching and performing. Honesty is my core value. After Pygmalion I plan to direct a whole lot more. World here I come!
