Spotlight On… Amy McCombes

1. What do you think is the most fabulous thing about being an actor? Lung Ha means a lot to me as it gives me the opportunity to learn about drama and gain experience in theatre, as well as helping me make meaningful friendships with other performers. I really like rehearsing with Lung Ha, where I get to practise and learn skills that make me more confident being on stage and speaking in public. I felt really anxious about performing when I joined Lung Ha but now I don’t.

2. If you could give an aspiring actor one piece of advice, what would it be? Don’t ignore your passions and talents – use them to make your theatre dreams come true.

3. 40 years is a big milestone during which we look back but also look ahead! What are your hopes or ambitions for the future? I hope to become more confident performing speaking roles. I hope Lung Ha continues to provide acting experience to more and more performers, and that everyone continues to be very supportive of each other for many years to come.
