ROUSHKA WESTALL - Actor / Director

Roushka started with CHTC in 2002 when she took a last minute role in the youth production of ‘You, me and Mrs Jones’. She thoroughly enjoyed this experience and continued, playing Fiona in the successful 2003 production of Salad days.  Roushka later took on roles in Once a catholic, Happy as a Sandbag, Ritual for Dolls and Daisy Pulls it off.  These experiences developed her acting skills and helped her to get accepted in to the National Youth Theatre. 

In 2004 Roushka started at Southampton Solent University studying for a BA in Performing Arts.  In her final year production she played Hermia in A Midsummer Nights Dream and graduated in 2007 with a 2:1degree. On her return from university she rejoined CHTC, taking the role of Eve in Gone With the Books.  Most recently she has appeared in the 2008 Town Show, as Joyce Mathews in Blitz! and in 2009 as one of the Royal Dancers  in The King and I.  In 2008 she also performed with The Players in our very successful productions of Love Begins at 50 and the Victorian Music Hall . She played
Sara Ross in the successful 2009 Players production of The Love Nest and Louise Montmorency in Still Waters.  In 2011 she played 70-year old Martha (photo below) in our World Premier production of Love at last.

Alongside these acting roles Roushka has taken over as Director with the CHTC Young Performers. Recently,  these 6-8 year olds performed  Beowulf  and The Fate of King Minos and gave fantastic performances. Roushka was pleased that Treasure Island the most recent production, , was just as successful.
Roushka is a primary school teacher and the valuable experience she has gained with the Young Performers helped her with her training for this.

In August 2010, Roushka (nee Munt) married Craig Westall and we wish the new Mr & Mrs Westall a happy, lucky and peaceful life together.

We will keep this page updated with Roushka's progress and wish her the best of luck for the future.
