JANETTE ROSE DIRECTOR
Janette Rose trained for a theatrical career from the age of three, specialising in dance and drama and obtained her teacher's certificate. Janette has been in various summer shows, clubs, cabaret, cruises etc, as a singer dancer/choreographer, and has played most Principal Girl and Principal Boy parts in pantomime. Janette plays for the first time the part of ‘Wicked Queen, Janette’s mother Gladys Ambrose (brookside’s Julia Brogan) used to play the part until she passed away seven years ago; this enabled Janette’s sister Wendy Duval to play the part in the year 2000. Janette has now decided that she would like to play the part so she is.
She has worked at the Repertory Theatre in St. Andrews, Scotland and with Theatre North. Janette has appeared in plays such as: 'Time and the Conways’, 'Anne Frank’, 'Tea and Sympathy’, 'Pink String and Ceiling Wax’, 'A Midsummer Nights Dream’, ‘The Tempest’, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, 'Dear Delinquent’, 'Little Women’, ‘Paddington Bear’ to name just a few.
Her film credits include 'Yanks’, 'International Velvet' and a comedy part with her sister Wendy in 'A Letter to Brezhnev’. Janette has appeared in television plays such as 'Charm’, 'Yanks go Home' and the controversial nuclear bomb attack 'Threads’.
These days Janette is happy to stay at home looking after her two boys Richard and Michael, yet still tries to involve herself at pantomime time.
