Inge has always been a lover of musical theatre in all shapes and forms, and grew up singing, dancing, and performing. She joined Camden Musical Society in 2023 and immediately jumped into getting involved behind the scenes. Inge is a former secondary school teacher turned marketing manager, and since joining CMS has taken over the marketing and communications function. Inge loves spending time with her husband and two girls - when not on stage or helping out with productions, she can usually be found camping, travelling, or reading a good book.

Emily has been involved in musical theatre from a young age and is most often seen on stage singing her heart out. Over the last few years, she has also enjoyed taking up opportunities to step behind the scenes with Camden Musical Society, having been involved in Production Management teams as well as joining the Committee. Emily is a Speech Pathologist and, when she's not at work or involved in a CMS production, she likes to spend her time snorkelling, scuba diving, or painting.

sasja penman

Sasja has always had a passion for the performing arts in dance. Ballet holds a special place in her heart, having danced full-time in her younger years. Her interest in musical theatre came much later in life, supporting her own daughter in pursuing her love for all things ‘on stage’.
Sasja is a qualified audiologist and centre manager by day, but happily finds the time to be a part of Camden Musical Society and its devotion to the community. With her sarcasm and wicked sense of humour, she has enjoyed contributing with her choreography and performing alongside such talented people across many of the productions to date. All while keeping the books in check!

Helen retired from full-time work in 2019 and was eager to find a new and exciting challenge. When she discovered the newly established Camden Musical Society, she jumped at the chance to get involved. Over the past five years, Helen has taken on a variety of key roles, including Front of House Manager, Production Manager, and Committee Liaison Officer for the society’s productions. Additionally, she has played a crucial role in the Governance Subcommittee, helping to develop policies and procedures. Helen has greatly enjoyed learning her new roles, meeting the cast, and collaborating with committee members.

Hayleigh has been a constant participant in local performing arts from a young age, whether through competition dancing, or singing at local events. Of course, once she found out the two could be joined, her love of musical theatre was sparked. Since joining Camden Musical Society in 2023, she has quickly found a second home amongst the members of the society, and would love nothing more than to help the community grow and thrive. When not on stage, she enjoys reading and writing, fuelling her rampant imagination with an overflowing bookshelf.

Hi, I am Bree-Anna. My decision to join the Camden Musical Society is grounded in a multitude of reasons. A paramount motivation is my deep-seated passion for delivering distinguished theatrical experiences to the community of Camden. Having dedicated years to the study of speech and drama under the auspices of the AMEB since the age of three, my aspiration now lies in nurturing aspiring performers in the art of acting within the realm of musical theater. My occupation is a primary school teacher. Beyond my theatrical pursuits, I also find enjoyment in equestrian activities and participation in scouting endeavors.
