The sun is shining at last in Brood Towers, so let's hope the signs are good for a summer of employment

We are very excited at Brood to be expanding the modelling side of our Client List in the coming weeks, so keep your eye on our Models section, and you will soon see some fabulous new faces.

The drama schools' finals plays season has been with us for several weeks, and we are out several times a week at shows, talent spotting. The standard of the graduates seems very high this year, and several schools have impressed us greatly. Birmingham and Italia Conti need a special mention. Watch this space for new signings in the coming weeks.

As for current clients in work, here's what people have been up to;- In Soapland Roxy Mitchell,(Rita Simons), has been spending her inheritance like money was going out of fashion, aided by her evil mother and brother. Rita's fanmail bag is always overflowing, just as we are with pride, about her achievements and award-winning, since starting in "Eastenders" in 2007.

North of the border, in Scottish Soap "River City", Robbie Fraser, Gary Lamont has been causing a bit of trouble at the hairdresser's where he works in Shieldinch, and we look forward to seeing whether he turns out to be a "tart with a heart"! Gary loves playing Robbie, a gift of a character. He gets some great storylines.

In the theatre, Mark Kane had a successful long run of the children's play "Stick Man" last year, and another tour for Bedfordshire based Scamp Theatre, sees him reprise his role as the Stick Man, this Autumn, is including Hong Kong in its venues, as well as a run at the Udderbelly at this year's Edinburgh Festival.

Still in children's theatre, Paul Sockett is touring the country in "Guess how much I love You", the Sally Humphreys production of the very successful children's books. The production is superbly marketed and audiences are flocking in. We are full of admiration for all concerned, after having seen the beginning of the tour at The Rose, Kingston.

Another children's play, this time taken from the successful BBC children's programme "In the Night Garden", is touring the UK form this summer. Our Blake Scott is happy to be working for Minor Entertainments in this much-anticipated tour.

On the Musical Theatre front, Christopher Finn is touring for "In the Spotlight Productions" with ex Stepper Faye Tozer, in "Songs from the Musicals", a powerfully cast piece that is getting some attention from big people in the business.

Broodies working abroad include;- Melanie Fawcett, who is working on "Starlight Express" at Bochum in Germany. By rehearsing in the new cast members for 3 months, the show, which is technically incredible, maintains its top level standard.

James Quarterman is based in Menorca for the Season, entertaining hotel guests on this lovely island, with a combination of material for the E3 group, based on such pieces as Abba, Glee and songs from Pop Divas.

Aisha Springer is having a hoot working at EuroDisney for the Season. A HUGE Disney fan, Aisha is in her element.

We are very excited that recent signing Bernard Bullen is shooting a piece for the Discovery Channel, in an Italian co-production. More on this when we have it.

Back on dry land, Philippa Tozer has been doing some very successful cabaret dates with her group "Lend us a Tenor", and rumours of world domination are rife.

Sonu Louis has done some feature film work this year on the movies "Clash of the Titans" and "John Carter of Mars". This all-action hero is primed and ready for anything.

"The Importance of being Earnest" is a great play. That consistently strong Fringe theatre, Upstairs at the Gatehouse, did a wondferful version, and we were very proud of our Marcus McSorley as a perfect Jack Worthing.

Two returnees to the UK this month;- Jackson Richard is back from his cruising season with Costa, and very much looking forward to meeting the West End producers. This lead young Musical Theatre star will not be out of work for long!

P J King returns from America. He will no doubt be playing his usual roles of powerful American businessman in a production near you, very soon.

One more thing, exciting new client signings: Watch this space: include Maggie Daniels, Yves Heck, Nitin Ranpuria and Paul Standell. These are names to note....
