Ellen Pickus (Ensemble) has been with this company since 1980 when she was looking for a night out once a week and knew it wouldn't be spent playing cards. She stayed for the delightful music and the equally delightful camaraderie. Favorite roles include Mad Margaret in Ruddigore, Pitti-Sing in The Mikado and the Duchess of Plaza Toro in The Gondoliers. She taught English and creative writing in Long Beach for thirty years.  She wishes to thank Philip and Robert for their loving support.
