<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
'''Katie-Louise Giles''' is a third year English student who has veered horrendously off course into the arms of PA. Which is strange, as she started her university career thinking she was honestly going to get some work done and read a lot of fun books. She can often be found in the company of [[Ben Walker]], and their more or less joining at the hip has earned them more than a few funny looks in the past. <br />
<br />
Having started her PA career pretending to be both a French woman and an easily distracted factory worker in ComedySoc's 2014 "acid trip" of a show ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'', Katie then had her post-show blues exploited by her fellow cast member [[Joe Hand]], who was directing [[H.M.S. Pinafore 2015]] at the time. Joe's heartless pragmatism (he needed more altos for the Sisters, Cousins and Aunts chorus) paid off, as she went on to be the world's most cult-orientated fresher possible when she boarded H.M.S Pinafore in February 2015. She was seduced by the opportunity to be a Victorian lady, bob and repeat her status endlessly, even going as far as to buy the DVD of LOpSoc's performance of [[Pirates of Penzance 2014]] - a show which happened before she even came to university and thus she wasn't even in. In her words, "It's still a good show, who cares". Such commitment to the society earned her the title of LOpSoc's "Biggest Fan", a title which can now only be relinquished in the event of her death in a duel with another worthy foe.<br />
<br />
In August 2015,to rectify the grievous error of not joining for its original run, she joined the Fairy Chorus for the 2015 Harrogate run of Iolanthe, becoming a punk rock fairy who doesn't play by the rules (unless the Fairy King tells her to). She then threw herself fully into the role of Shaindel and also Grumpiest Yiddish Peasant in the Land in LOpSoc's 2016 show, [[Fiddler on the Roof 2016]]. She is uncertain of how she managed to convince the prod team that she is a natural mother, with the baby face that she has. (She is not complaining, she will do anything for more attention). To be honest, she only joined to get a chance to club Ben into the dust, the honour bestowed on [[Barnaby Wilson]]. <br />
<br />
Next, she went back to her roots as a swooning, sighing Victorian as Cardboard Cutout Contadine-I mean,Giulia in LOpSoc's summer show, [[Gondoliers 2016]], fawning over poor unfortunate [[Philip Needle]]. He really doesn't deserve this psychological scarring, especially not in his first show, but is going to get it anyway, because [[Joe Hand]] and [[Owen Perring]] say so. She then went on to terrorize a new Giorgio in the form of [[Jamie Hizzett]] and became a hybrid of Vittoria and Giulia in the Harrogate run of [[Gondoliers 2016 (Harrogate)]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
She rejoined the chorus for [[ The Mikado 2017]], even woefully without a fan due to directorial naysaying. She has clearly created a reputation. She then realised that the soprano life was clearly too strong to resist, as she never quite left after Gondoliers. She continues to betray what was once her people by remaining in the soprano chorus in [[Half A Sixpence 2017]] as well as taking on the role of Gwendoline, the worst maid in the world. Around the same time, she decided that after three years of being inseparable, and a year of living in the same house, that [[Ben Walker]] really isn't so bad, and hence broke the fresher legend surrounding them forever. Poor boy. Continuing the soprano life, she did the truly not-soprano thing of taking a role with no singing part, to play Lily in the Harrogate run of [[The Mikado 2017 (Harrogate)]], the child with the grumpiest face and the heart of stone. Can't have people thinking she's too mushy. <br />
<br />
Despite then graduating from the university, and having a way out of this madness and into a masters, she instead chose to come back to be part of the chorus for [[Ruddygore 2018]] while still doing a masters in a different university. Her most recent foray into the LOpSoc abyss is as the Lady Ella in [[Patience 2018]], undoing all her good work as Lily by being a ball of emotions for those good handsome boys.<br />

<div>== Biography == <br />
[[File:Bens_Punk_Rock_Adventure.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Ben in full fairy mode in Harrogate before the performance of Iolanthe 2015]]<br />
Born Benjamin Jonathan Oliver Walker, Ben is a third year English and philosophy student (though he prefers the term "philosopher poet") who blundered into LOpSoc more or less by accident in his first year, and stayed because he liked the productions' constant use of the word "wherefore". He is the incumbent Loremaster for the 2015/16 academic year, which means he's now responsible for editing and updating all the pages on here to be more current and "on-message with LOpSoc's new corporate philosophy".<br />
<br />
Ben began his PA career searching for personal validation in acid trips of shows like ComedySoc's cross-PA production ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'' and his own stand-up, with limited success. Soon after Genre Killer ended, he and fellow "innocent" first year [[Katie Giles]] were poached by HMS Pinafore director [[Joe Hand]] (the Inspector from ''Genre Killer'') to screw around in the back of his show, thus beginning a beautiful relationship with Victorian colonial propaganda. Ben then went up to Harrogate with the rest of LOpSoc to be a punk rock fairy - in his words, "if there are three words I want to describe me at all times, those would be the three". There, he made an excellent friend in his cup of tea, which was, to quote " the only thing that didn't have the capacity to hurt me." Building on that success, he then took a short holiday to Anatevka to be the world's worst Bolshevik in LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof 2016]]. <br />
<br />
After a pretty successful run in Fiddler, he then took on the role of the Duke and Duchess' valet/servant/pet monkey Luiz in LOpSoc's upcoming summer show The Gondoliers. He hopes his grade 8 coconut playing skills were up to the task. After one run of super tight costume trousers that he was reassured were totally fine (and weren't) he then proceeded to take them to Harrogate for [[Gondoliers 2016 (Harrogate)]] to subdue the adjudicators into giving us good marks. <br />
<br />
Next, he took on being Koko in [[The Mikado 2017]], where his main duties were complaining about his busted knee, having intensely spiky hair and inserting wrestling references into a Victorian show, which amused him greatly. [[Half a Sixpence 2017]] gave him the chance to have a jaunt to nearly his hometown to play Sid, the Marxist. Once a Marxist... After musing gently on the importance of reminding the people Folkestone is nowhere near as nice as Half a Sixpence makes out, he then re-donned the Sonic hair to play Koko once more on the Harrogate stage for [[The Mikado 2017]], now with the added task of ignoring [[Katie Giles]] who had nothing to do but annoy him relentlessly as his creator and therefore boss. <br />
<br />
Having graduated, he tried to escape the LOpSoc pull by writing his own stuff at home and pretending not to hear the siren call, but alas, the call of the eternal bobbing and rapture was too great, and he returns to be part of the rugby boy chorus for [[Patience 2018]], as the angriest boy on the squad, who STILL complains about his busted knee. <br />
<br />
=== Fresher Legends ===<br />
<br />
-Not actually scary, a genuinely nice guy<br />
<br />
-Apparently he has limbs like Jon North<br />
<br />
-Is definitely not dating Katie ''(... yet)''<br />
<br />
-Will take anything as a challenge. Do not test the theory.<br />
<br />
== Major Achievements ==<br />
* Broke the world record for usage of the word “aubergine” in 5 minutes of regular conversation.<br />
* Former TF2 EU Highlander Open quarter-finalist (thereby proving your headshot skill increases as your amount of friends decreases).<br />
* Has written nearly 150,000 words of terrible prose and poetry in his compilation “Streets Swallow Their Own Tails and Choke”.<br />
* Has almost died twice – once due to appendicitis, once due to some terrible unpleasantness on Burgess Road involving a potato.<br />
* TV celebrity baker Paul Hollywood still believes Ben is a homeless apprentice gas fitter named Dan, whom he gave five pounds to help.<br />
* Partner in crime of [[Katie Giles]], and has never dated her. Not now, not ever. ... until they started actually dating (finally)<br />
* Beautiful Coiffure award for an ungodly amount of hair gel from Genre Killer which was only fully gone five days later and that nobody will ever let go.<br />
* 60% Johnny Depp. (He's very proud of that.)<br />

<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
'''Katie-Louise Giles''' is a third year English student who has veered horrendously off course into the arms of PA. Which is strange, as she started her university career thinking she was honestly going to get some work done and read a lot of fun books. She can often be found in the company of [[Ben Walker]], and their more or less joining at the hip has earned them more than a few funny looks in the past. <br />
<br />
Having started her PA career pretending to be both a French woman and an easily distracted factory worker in ComedySoc's 2014 "acid trip" of a show ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'', Katie then had her post-show blues exploited by her fellow cast member [[Joe Hand]], who was directing [[H.M.S. Pinafore 2015]] at the time. Joe's heartless pragmatism (he needed more altos for the Sisters, Cousins and Aunts chorus) paid off, as she went on to be the world's most cult-orientated fresher possible when she boarded H.M.S Pinafore in February 2015. She was seduced by the opportunity to be a Victorian lady, bob and repeat her status endlessly, even going as far as to buy the DVD of LOpSoc's performance of [[Pirates of Penzance 2014]] - a show which happened before she even came to university and thus she wasn't even in. In her words, "It's still a good show, who cares". Such commitment to the society earned her the title of LOpSoc's "Biggest Fan", a title which can now only be relinquished in the event of her death in a duel with another worthy foe.<br />
<br />
In August 2015,to rectify the grievous error of not joining for its original run, she joined the Fairy Chorus for the 2015 Harrogate run of Iolanthe, becoming a punk rock fairy who doesn't play by the rules (unless the Fairy King tells her to). She then threw herself fully into the role of Shaindel and also Grumpiest Yiddish Peasant in the Land in LOpSoc's 2016 show, [[Fiddler on the Roof 2016]]. She is uncertain of how she managed to convince the prod team that she is a natural mother, with the baby face that she has. (She is not complaining, she will do anything for more attention). To be honest, she only joined to get a chance to club Ben into the dust, the honour bestowed on [[Barnaby Wilson]]. <br />
<br />
Next, she went back to her roots as a swooning, sighing Victorian as Cardboard Cutout Contadine-I mean,Giulia in LOpSoc's summer show, [[Gondoliers 2016]], fawning over poor unfortunate [[Philip Needle]]. He really doesn't deserve this psychological scarring, especially not in his first show, but is going to get it anyway, because [[Joe Hand]] and [[Owen Perring]] say so. She then went on to terrorize a new Giorgio in the form of [[Jamie Hizzett]] and became a hybrid of Vittoria and Giulia in the Harrogate run of [[Gondoliers 2016 (Harrogate)]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
She rejoined the chorus for [[ The Mikado 2017]], even woefully without a fan due to directorial naysaying. She has clearly created a reputation. She then realised that the soprano life was clearly too strong to resist, as she never quite left after Gondoliers. She continues to betray what was once her people by remaining in the soprano chorus in [[Half A Sixpence 2017]] as well as taking on the role of Gwendoline, the worst maid in the world. Around the same time, she decided that after three years of being inseparable, and a year of living in the same house, that [[Ben Walker]] really isn't so bad, and hence broke the fresher legend surrounding them forever. Poor boy. Continuing the soprano life, she did the truly not-soprano thing of taking a role with no singing part, to play Lily in the Harrogate run of [[The Mikado 2018 (Harrogate)]], the child with the grumpiest face and the heart of stone. Can't have people thinking she's too mushy. <br />
<br />
Despite then graduating from the university, and having a way out of this madness and into a masters, she instead chose to come back to be part of the chorus for [[Ruddygore 2018]] while still doing a masters in a different university. Her most recent foray into the LOpSoc abyss is as the Lady Ella in [[Patience 2018]], undoing all her good work as Lily by being a ball of emotions for those good handsome boys.<br />

* Produced enough static electricity with one hand fan during the run of HMS Pinafore to power all university buildings on Highfield for three days.<br />

* Infiltrating the sopranos for the alto revolution<br />
* Harbours a great love for William Shakespeare and Diet Coke - in fact, she likes this combination more than anyone else in the world.<br />
* Dragged [[Amber Courage]] into the cult with promises of singing and insanity.<br />

=== Biography ===<br />
'''Joe "Wanna" Hand''' is a third year zoology student at Southampton, who kids himself that he'll be able to leave Southampton when he graduates and seek alternative arrangements in London, where the pavements are gold and only sometimes chewing gum. He also sometimes refers to himself in the third person. He was the LOpSoc secretary for the 2014/2015 year, and ordinary member for the 2015/2016 year. <br />
<br />
His LOpSoc career began with his first appearance as the Pirate King in the Southampton run of [[Pirates of Penzance 2014]] and [[Pirates of Penzance 2014 (Harrogate)]], during which he hip thrusted so much at the audience that his pelvis turned into solid gold. To this day, Joe's hips have about the same value as the GDP of Lesotho. His role as Toby in [[Sweeney Todd 2014]] was more or less the exact opposite of the Pirate King, and turned his co-star [[Jon North]] off meat pies and shaved heads for life. To sing as Toby, Joe had to sing higher than his comfortable range, and for around two weeks after the show he spent around three weeks sounding like an understudy for Alvin and the Chipmunks.<br />
<br />
He took a small break from LOpSoc shows to star in the cross-PA "mescaline trip" of a show ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'', before returning to direct [[H.M.S. Pinafore 2015]] with Jon North and several of his knees. His "angry fairy" character for [[Iolanthe 2015]]'s Harrogate run will not be forgotten - especially not by several other chorus members' boots, which still bear scars from his outbursts of pure, unrestrained rage. Fans of Joe's "great big busshy beard" will be excited to learn that he plays the magnificently fuzzed Tevye in LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof]].<br />
<br />
He has sung for 7 years in a choir, and for 3 of those was part of an a capella group. He owns 37 tortoises, a ferret, a St. Bernard, a cat, two chickens and three preying mantises called Haley, Ophelia and Beans, who are also all part of an a capella group.<br />
<br />
He guesses he'd probably like to end up living in the Lake District or something, although anywhere which has a solid supply of d20s and beard combs will do just fine.<br />
<br />
Joe died in March 2014 when he was mercilessly shaved off of the face of [[Ulf]], his host organism, but was reborn weeks later after an industrial accident created a perfect genetic clone from three stray hairs, a printout of his Reddit karma, and an old D&D Monster Manual.<br />

<br />
== Personal History ==<br />
<br />
Rhiannon entered the world small and quiet (we wish it stayed that way). She is a hybrid of Welsh and English. Originally blonde, when she started turning brunette she began experimenting with various dangerous chemicals to rectify her hair colour. She has completed her study of BA in English and has continued at Uni. Southampton with a MA. She is known for her feline qualities (e.g. licking herself, meowing to be fed, and scratching bed posts). She has a low mezzo-soprano voice which has jazzy tones, making it very hard to fit her into operetta characters. Her ability to have an amazing voice yet not being able to be cast due to a lack of a suitable character has coined the term "Rhiannon Syndrome". Someone who has "Rhiannon Syndrome" is not necessarily lacking in vocals, however cannot be cast due to a lack of a suitable character.<br />

Outside of LOpSoc, she has performed with Bishopstoke Players, Bournemouth Gilbert and Sullivan Society in [[Iolanthe]], the Charity Symphony Orchestra in their production of [[Trial by Jury]], and later with Miscellany, again in a Trial by Jury production. <br />
<br />
In 2015 Emma directed Iolanthe in the Annex Theatre and later at the International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival, where she received the award for best director alongside Abby Pardoe.<br />

A biology graduate, Emma joined LOpSoc in her second year of university (far too late!) for the summer show [[What a Banker!]]. Though she has no prior singing experience, she has thoroughly enjoyed singing with LOpSoc.<br />
<br />
Outside of LOpSoc, she has performed with Bishopstoke Players, Bournemouth Gilbert and Sullivan Society in [[Iolanthe]], the Charity Symphony Orchestra in their production of [[Trial by Jury]], and later with Miscellany, again in a Trial by Jury production. <br />
<br />
In 2015 Emma directed Iolanthe in the Annex Theatre and later at the International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival, where she received the award for best director alongside Abby Pardoe.<br />

<div>===Biography===<br />
<br />
Amber, a first year music student, joined LOpSoc in 2016 for Fiddler on the Roof, not expecting the tag team cult effort of [[Ben Walker]] and [[Katie Giles]] raining down meaning that it was too late for escape. She may have questionable murderous French ancestors, so we don't mock her TOO much, for the safety of our English souls. <br />
<br />
Having fled the burning remains of Anatevka in [[Fiddler on the Roof 2016]], she now moves onto getting sweet revenge on [[Katie Giles]] in her role as Fiametta in the upcoming run of The Gondoliers by refusing to let her ruin the plan of eschewing the gondoliers in favour of Marco and Giuseppe by way of violence. She is also taking on the mammoth task of clothing the entirety of LOpSoc with beautiful clothes as the wardrobe director of the aforementioned show. <br />
<br />
=== Major Achievements ===<br />
*Dressing an errant cast beautifully despite many setbacks. <br />
*Anything [[Katie Giles]] can do, she can do better. It's true. Trust us. High B's don't lie. <br />
* Has cultivated a mean ''Really?'' stare from practicing on [[Ben Walker]] and [[Katie Giles]] at parties. <br />

<div>[[File:Iolanthe.jpg|thumb|right|Katie attempting to pull off being a punk rock fairy by not smiling in Harrogate 2015]]<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
'''Katie-Louise Giles''' is a second year English student who has veered horrendously off course into the arms of PA. Which is strange, as she started her university career thinking she was honestly going to get some work done and read a lot of fun books. She can often be found in the company of [[Ben Walker]], and their more or less joining at the hip has earned them more than a few funny looks in the past. <br />
<br />
Having started her PA career pretending to be both a French woman and an easily distracted factory worker in ComedySoc's 2014 "acid trip" of a show ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'', Katie then had her post-show blues exploited by her fellow cast member [[Joe Hand]], who was directing [[H.M.S. Pinafore 2015]] at the time. Joe's heartless pragmatism (he needed more altos for the Sisters, Cousins and Aunts chorus) paid off, as she went on to be the world's most cult-orientated fresher possible when she boarded H.M.S Pinafore in February 2015. She was seduced by the opportunity to be a Victorian lady, bob and repeat her status endlessly, even going as far as to buy the DVD of LOpSoc's performance of [[Pirates of Penzance 2014]] - a show which happened before she even came to university and thus she wasn't even in. In her words, "It's still a good show, who cares". Such commitment to the society earned her the title of LOpSoc's "Biggest Fan", a title which can now only be relinquished in the event of her death in a duel with another worthy foe.<br />
<br />
In August 2015,to rectify the grievous error of not joining for its original run, she joined the Fairy Chorus for the 2015 Harrogate run of Iolanthe, becoming a punk rock fairy who doesn't play by the rules (unless the Fairy King tells her to). She then threw herself fully into the role of Shaindel and also Grumpiest Yiddish Peasant in the Land in LOpSoc's 2016 show, [[Fiddler on the Roof 2016]]. She is uncertain of how she managed to convince the prod team that she is a natural mother, with the baby face that she has. (She is not complaining, she will do anything for more attention). To be honest, she only joined to get a chance to club Ben into the dust, the honour bestowed on [[Barnaby Wilson]]. <br />
<br />
She now looks ahead to going back to her roots as a swooning, sighing Victorian as Cardboard Cutout Contadine-I mean,Giulia in LOpSoc's summer show, [[Gondoliers 2016]], fawning over poor unfortunate [[Philip Needle]]. He really doesn't deserve this psychological scarring, especially not in his first show, but is going to get it anyway, because [[Joe Hand]] and [[Owen Perring]] say so.<br />
<br />
== Fresher Legends ==<br />
<br />
-Is definitely not dating Ben<br />
<br />
-Referred to as 'The Biggest Fan'<br />
<br />
== Major Achievements ==<br />
* Has managed to convince more or less everybody in every show she's been in that she's dating [[Ben Walker]]. She isn't, and never has been.<br />
* Was responsible for the psychological destruction of [[Joe Hand]] at the 2015 Bunfight.<br />
* Produced enough static electricity with one hand fan during the run of HMS Pinafore to power all university buildings on Highfield for three days.<br />
* Best damn cake maker in the business.<br />
* Infiltrating the sopranos for the alto revolution<br />
* Harbours a great love for William Shakespeare and Diet Coke - in fact, she likes this combination more than anyone else in the world.<br />
* Dragged [[Amber Courage]] into the cult with promises of singing and insanity.<br />

<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
'''Katie-Louise Giles''' is a second year English student who has veered horrendously off course into the arms of PA. Which is strange, as she started her university career thinking she was honestly going to get some work done and read a lot of fun books. She can often be found in the company of [[Ben Walker]], and their more or less joining at the hip has earned them more than a few funny looks in the past. <br />
<br />
Having started her PA career pretending to be both a French woman and an easily distracted factory worker in ComedySoc's 2014 "acid trip" of a show ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'', Katie then had her post-show blues exploited by her fellow cast member [[Joe Hand]], who was directing [[H.M.S. Pinafore 2015]] at the time. Joe's heartless pragmatism (he needed more altos for the Sisters, Cousins and Aunts chorus) paid off, as she went on to be the world's most cult-orientated fresher possible when she boarded H.M.S Pinafore in February 2015. She was seduced by the opportunity to be a Victorian lady, bob and repeat her status endlessly, even going as far as to buy the DVD of LOpSoc's performance of [[Pirates of Penzance 2014]] - a show which happened before she even came to university and thus she wasn't even in. In her words, "It's still a good show, who cares". Such commitment to the society earned her the title of LOpSoc's "Biggest Fan", a title which can now only be relinquished in the event of her death in a duel with another worthy foe.<br />
<br />
In August 2015,to rectify the grevious error of not joining for its original run, she joined the Fairy Chorus for the 2015 Harrogate run of Iolanthe, becoming a punk rock fairy who doesn't play by the rules (unless the Fairy King tells her to). She then threw herself fully into the role of Shaindel and also Grumpiest Yiddish Peasant in the Land in LOpSoc's 2016 show, [[Fiddler on the Roof 2016]]. She is uncertain of how she managed to convince the prod team that she is a natural mother, with the baby face that she has. (She is not complaining, she will do anything for more attention). To be honest, she only joined to get a chance to club Ben into the dust, the honour bestowed on [[Barnaby Wilson]]. <br />
<br />
She now looks ahead to going back to her roots as a swooning, sighing Victorian as Cardboard Cutout Contadine-I mean,Giulia in LOpSoc's summer show, [[Gondoliers 2016]], fawning over poor unfortunate [[Jamie Hizzett]]. He really doesn't deserve this psychological scarring, but is going to get it anyway, because [[Joe Hand]] and [[Owen Perring]] say so.<br />

<div>== Biography == <br />
[[File:Bens_Punk_Rock_Adventure.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Ben in full fairy mode in Harrogate before the performance of Iolanthe 2015]]<br />
Born Benjamin Jonathan Oliver Walker, Ben is a second year English and philosophy student (though he prefers the term "philosopher poet") who blundered into LOpSoc more or less by accident in his first year, and stayed because he liked the productions' constant use of the word "wherefore". He is the incumbent Loremaster for the 2015/16 academic year, which means he's now responsible for editing and updating all the pages on here to be more current and "on-message with LOpSoc's new corporate philosophy".<br />
<br />
Ben began his PA career searching for personal validation in acid trips of shows like ComedySoc's cross-PA production ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'' and his own stand-up, with limited success. Soon after Genre Killer ended, he and fellow "innocent" first year [[Katie Giles]] were poached by HMS Pinafore director [[Joe Hand]] (the Inspector from ''Genre Killer'') to screw around in the back of his show, thus beginning a beautiful relationship with Victorian colonial propaganda. Ben then went up to Harrogate with the rest of LOpSoc to be a punk rock fairy - in his words, "if there are three words I want to describe me at all times, those would be the three". There, he made an excellent friend in his cup of tea, which was, to quote " the only thing that didn't have the capacity to hurt me." Building on that success, he's now taking a short holiday to Anatevka to be the world's worst Bolshevik in LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof 2016]]. <br />
<br />
After a pretty successful run in Fiddler, he's happy to take on the role of the Duke and Duchess' valet/servant/pet monkey Luiz in LOpSoc's upcoming summer show The Gondoliers. He hopes his grade 8 coconut playing skills will be up to the task.<br />
<br />
=== Fresher Legends ===<br />
<br />
-Not actually scary, but creepy, yes creepy<br />
<br />
-Apparently he has limbs like Jon North<br />
<br />
-Is definitely not dating Katie<br />
<br />
-Will take anything as a challenge. Do not test the theory. <br />
<br />
== Major Achievements ==<br />
* Broke the world record for usage of the word “aubergine” in 5 minutes of regular conversation.<br />
* Former TF2 EU Highlander Open quarter-finalist (thereby proving your headshot skill increases as your amount of friends decreases).<br />
* Has written nearly 150,000 words of terrible prose and poetry in his compilation “Streets Swallow Their Own Tails and Choke”.<br />
* Has almost died twice – once due to appendicitis, once due to some terrible unpleasantness on Burgess Road involving a potato.<br />
* TV celebrity baker Paul Hollywood still believes Ben is a homeless apprentice gas fitter named Dan, whom he gave five pounds to help.<br />
* Partner in crime of [[Katie Giles]], and has never dated her. Not now, not ever.<br />
* Beautiful Coiffure award for an ungodly amount of hair gel from Genre Killer which was only fully gone five days later and that nobody will ever let go.<br />
* 60% Johnny Depp. (He's very proud of that.)<br />

"The Gondoliers" is LOpSoc's 2016 Summer Show, and is also due to be performed in the International G&S Festival on August 17th in Harrogate.<br />
<br />
Marco and Giuseppe are two merry republican Venetian gondoliers, recently engaged to Gianetta and Tessa. What is their surprise when, right after their wedding, the Spanish inquisitor Don Alhambra shows up and reveals that one of them is no other than the King of Barataria! <br />
<br />
The inquisitor stole the baby prince from Barataria many years ago and brought him to be raised by a gondolier in Venice. Said gondolier died when Marco and Giuseppe were younger, and now the only person who can identify the true King is Inez, the lady who nursed the royal baby back in Barataria. Now with the death of the former King, it is imperative that Marco and Giuseppe leave immediately and assume the throne as one individual. There is only one little problem: ladies are not allowed in the court of Barataria, and so Gianetta and Tessa must remain in Venice...<br />
<br />
That, in fact, is just an excuse made up by Don Alhambra. The truth is, the prince of Barataria was married in infancy to Casilda, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro. Casilda herself didn't know about her husband, and is desolate when her parents tell her the truth. She is secretly in love with Luiz, her father's servant, and now her dreams seem more impossible than ever before...<br />
<br />
Are the gondoliers going to succeed in bringing their republican ideals to Barataria? What will happen when Gianetta and Tessa find out that either Marco or Giuseppe was already married to Casilda? Will the Plaza-Toros regain their status and fortune? Will Don Alhambra find Inez and finally solve this confusion? <br />
<br />
Love, gondolas, political ideals, mistaken identities and all the classic G&S plot tweaks and twists meet in Harrogate this Summer!<br />

<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
'''Katie-Louise Giles''' is a second year English student who has veered horrendously off course into the arms of PA. Which is strange, as she started her university career thinking she was honestly going to get some work done and read a lot of fun books. She can often be found in the company of [[Ben Walker]], and their more or less joining at the hip has earned them more than a few funny looks in the past. <br />
<br />
Having started her PA career pretending to be both a French woman and an easily distracted factory worker in ComedySoc's 2014 "acid trip" of a show ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'', Katie then had her post-show blues exploited by her fellow cast member [[Joe Hand]], who was directing [[H.M.S. Pinafore 2015]] at the time. Joe's heartless pragmatism (he needed more altos for the Sisters, Cousins and Aunts chorus) paid off, as she went on to be the world's most cult-orientated fresher possible when she boarded H.M.S Pinafore in February 2015. She was seduced by the opportunity to be a Victorian lady, bob and repeat her status endlessly, even going as far as to buy the DVD of LOpSoc's performance of [[Pirates of Penzance 2014]] - a show which happened before she even came to university and thus she wasn't even in. In her words, "It's still a good show, who cares". Such commitment to the society earned her the title of LOpSoc's "Biggest Fan", a title which can now only be relinquished in the event of her death in a duel with another worthy foe.<br />
<br />
In August 2015,to rectify the grevious error of not joining for its original run, she joined the Fairy Chorus for the 2015 Harrogate run of Iolanthe, becoming a punk rock fairy who doesn't play by the rules (unless the Fairy King tells her to). She then threw herself fully into the role of Shaindel and also Grumpiest Yiddish Peasant in the Land in LOpSoc's 2016 show, [[Fiddler on the Roof 2016]]. She is uncertain of how she managed to convince the prod team that she is a natural mother, with the baby face that she has. (She is not complaining, she will do anything for more attention). To be honest, she only joined to get a chance to club Ben into the dust, the honour bestowed on [[Barnaby Wilson]]. <br />
<br />
She now looks ahead to going back to her roots as a swooning, sighing Victorian as Cardboard Cutout Contadine-I mean,Giulia in LOpSoc's summer show, [[Gondoliers 2016]], fawning over poor unfortunate [[Jamie Hizzett]]. He really doesn't deserve this psychological scarring, but is going to get it anyway, because [[Joe Hand]] and [[Owen Perring]] say so.<br />
<br />
== Major Achievements ==<br />
* Has managed to convince more or less everybody in every show she's been in that she's dating [[Ben Walker]]. She isn't, and never has been.<br />
* Was responsible for the psychological destruction of [[Joe Hand]] at the 2015 Bunfight.<br />
* Produced enough static electricity with one hand fan during the run of HMS Pinafore to power all university buildings on Highfield for three days.<br />
* Best damn cake maker in the business.<br />
* Madame President of the Alto Revolution<br />
* Harbours a great love for William Shakespeare and Diet Coke - in fact, she likes this combination more than anyone else in the world.<br />
* Dragged [[Amber Courage]] into the cult with promises of singing and insanity.<br />

<br />
LOpSoc 2016 Summer show, due to be performed from the 8th to the 11th of June 2016 at the Annex Theatre.<br />
<br />
Marco and Giuseppe are two merry republican Venetian gondoliers, recently engaged to Gianetta and Tessa. What is their surprise when, right after their wedding, the Spanish inquisitor Don Alhambra shows up and reveals that one of them is no other than the King of Barataria! <br />
<br />
The inquisitor stole the baby prince from Barataria many years ago and brought him to be raised by a gondolier in Venice. Said gondolier died when Marco and Giuseppe were younger, and now the only person who can identify the true King is Inez, the lady who nursed the royal baby back in Barataria. Now with the death of the former King, it is imperative that Marco and Giuseppe leave immediately and assume the throne as one individual. There is only one little problem: ladies are not allowed in the court of Barataria, and so Gianetta and Tessa must remain in Venice...<br />
<br />
That, in fact, is just an excuse made up by Don Alhambra. The truth is, the prince of Barataria was married in infancy to Casilda, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro. Casilda herself didn't know about her husband, and is desolate when her parents tell her the truth. She is secretly in love with Luiz, her father's servant, and now her dreams seem more impossible than ever before...<br />
<br />
Are the gondoliers going to succeed in bringing their republican ideals to Barataria? What will happen when Gianetta and Tessa find out that either Marco or Giuseppe was already married to Casilda? Will the Plaza-Toros regain their status and fortune? Will Don Alhambra find Inez and finally solve this confusion? <br />
<br />
Love, gondolas, political ideals, mistaken identities and all the classic G&S plot tweaks and twists meet in the Annex Theatre this Summer.<br />

Joe's heartless pragmatism (he needed more altos for the Sisters, Cousins and Aunts chorus) paid off, as she went on to be the world's most cult-orientated fresher possible when she boarded H.M.S Pinafore in February 2015. She was seduced by the opportunity to be a Victorian lady, bob and repeat her status endlessly, even going as far as to buy the DVD of LOpSoc's performance of The Pirates of Penzance 2014 - a show which happened before she even came to university and thus she wasn't even in. In her words, "It's still a good show, who cares". Such commitment to the society earned her the title of LOpSoc's "Biggest Fan", a title which can now only be relinquished in the event of her death in a duel with another worthy foe.<br />
<br />
In August 2015,to rectify the grevious error of not joining for its original run, she joined the Fairy Chorus for the 2015 Harrogate run of Iolanthe, becoming a punk rock fairy who doesn't play by the rules (unless the Fairy King tells her to). She then threw herself fully into the role of Shaindel and also Grumpiest Yiddish Peasant in the Land in LOpSoc's 2016 show, Fiddler on the Roof. She is uncertain of how she managed to convince the prod team that she is a natural mother, with the baby face that she has. (She is not complaining, she will do anything for more attention). To be honest, she only joined to get a chance to club Ben into the dust, the honour bestowed on [[Barnaby Wilson]]. <br />
<br />
She now looks ahead to going back to her roots as a swooning, sighing Victorian as Giulia in LOpSoc's summer show for 2016, The Gondoliers, fawning over poor unfortunate [[Jamie Hizzett]]. He really doesn't deserve this psychological scarring, but is going to get it anyway due to the return of [[Joe Hand]] with his new partner in crime [[Owen Perring]] as director and overlord of all.<br />
<br />
== Major Achievements ==<br />
* Has managed to convince more or less everybody in every show she's been in that she's dating [[Ben Walker]]. She isn't, and never has been.<br />
* Was responsible for the psychological destruction of [[Joe Hand]] at the 2015 Bunfight.<br />
* Produced enough static electricity with one hand fan during the run of HMS Pinafore to power all university buildings on Highfield for three days.<br />
* Best damn cake maker in the business.<br />
* Madame President of the Alto Revolution<br />
* Harbours a great love for William Shakespeare and Diet Coke - in fact, she likes this combination more than anyone else in the world.<br />
* Dragged [[Amber Courage]] into the cult with promises of singing and insanity.<br />

== Biography ==<br />
<br />
'''Katie-Louise Giles''' is a second year English student who has veered horrendously off course into the arms of PA. Which is strange, as she started her university career thinking she was honestly going to get some work done and read a lot of fun books. She can often be found in the company of [[Ben Walker]], and their more or less joining at the hip has earned them more than a few funny looks in the past. <br />
