Success Stories

Chris Fountain

Chris Fountain joined the Carol Godby Theatre Workshop at the age of 13 and was never far away participating in drama, dance and singing classes. There were four members named Chris in his group so he was known as ‘Brad’ due to his Bradford roots!

Chris was heavily involved with the workshop and took part in many productions including playing the Beast in a Christmas pantomime of Beauty and the Beast. Chris was also a member of Carol’s first boy band, ‘Nau-T’ who performed together for almost two years. Nau-T used to tour road shows, talent shows and sing at birthday parties which was a fantastic experience for the young Chris Fountain.

Chris has since gone on to have a very successful acting career through Carol and plays the part of Justin Burton in Hollyoaks which he is now very well known for. Amongst other credits Chris won Best Male Actor at the 2008 Soap Awards and was also a finalist in the popular programme, Dancing on Ice.

Chris is still hands on with the workshop whenever possible and has made guest appearances taking dance classes, judging pop shows and the festivals of plays.
