BRUCE G. HODGSON
Backstage Help
Been with the society for a lo-o-ong time - and attended their shows way before that! A jack-of-all-trades for the group except for the finances and singing solo - he made no cents out of the former and some years he'd sing so low you couldn't hear him! Fell for G&S in 1952 at Hail Dear Old Norvoc, North Toronto, playing two roles at once - a "Tarantara" bobby and a "Yo Ho Ho" pirate. Throughout high school, he was back stage for the North Toronto Players - how many remember their Noel Coward's "Skin of the Teeth"? For one of their shows, Bruce was into a school assignment between curtains, oblivious to his cue to close the curtains - he was jolted by exasperated cries from his English teacher Mr. Milne sitting in the front row with special guests - "Curtains!!!" The next day in English class, Bruce felt the burning glare of his teacher, oh yes!

To everyone of St. Peter's Choral and the now Scarborough G&S -

"Thanks ... for the memories!"
