Mark Leach (Hitchens) joined WWOS in 1988 , as a young bearded youth and was quickly snapped up  to play the part of Perchick in the society’s first production of Fiddler On The Roof. Over the years he worked his way through a variety of parts including the song & dance man Frank Schultz (Showboat), the dashing legionnaire Danny Gilmartin (Calamity Jane), effete Pickwickian Winkle (Pickwick), tragic anti-hero Billy Bigelow (Carousel) and gambler Sky Masterson (Guys and Dolls). Mark also appeared in both the society’s productions of Sweeney Todd, in 1990 as Anthony and in 2000 as Sweeney Todd himself.
