Janet Boyes - PA

Janet “Border Collie” Boyes (aka Chicky I) is the Company PA and, without her, none of us would get from the dressing room to the stage. She is indefatigable, indomitable, and in our faces, ensuring that we are pressed, dressed, and camera ready by curtain time. She may be relied upon for everything from aspirin to ice packs, from light cues to Q-tips. She is our American Express … we don’t leave home without her.
