Billy Boulton

Billy joined LOpSoc for Fiddler on the Roof 2016 where he played the role of Mordcha the inkeeper. He then went on to play Don Alhambra in Gondoliers 2016 in the annex theatre, as well as in Harrogate 2016, where he received a nomination for Best Character Actor. He then went on to co-direct Mikado 2017 with George Smith in the Nuffield, which was subsequently taken to Harrogate that summer. The Mikado picked up numerous awards at the International GIlbert and Sullivan festival 2017, including Best Show and Best Direction for Billy and George. He also re-continued his slew of 'comic relief' roles with the role of Chitterlow in Half a Sixpence 2017, before playing the lovably loyal Old Adam in Ruddygore 2018. His latest role was as the Colonel, re-styled as the rugby captain, despite having the physique of a monkey drum, in Patience 2018, which he reprised in Harrogate later that year. Billy now faces a new challenge, playing Lady Blanche in the upcoming production of Princess Ida 2019, which will be his final role as an undergraduate, as he is set to be Musical Director for the upcoming Double Feature 2019.

Billy has also served in committee, firstly as Archivist for 2017/18, a role which he changed the name of to Loremaster via a narrow society vote, fulfilling a manifesto promise originally made by the previous archivist Ben Walker, but was not carried out. On the back of his success, he was also elected into his current role as Chair of the society for the year 2018/19. Billy's final role as a student is as Musical Director for Double Feature 2019
