Success Stories

Jennie McAlpine

Jennie McAlpine attended The Carol Godby Theatre Workshop from the age of 12 for around 6 years. She was heavily involved with the workshop during her time here attending drama and singing classes and participating in pop shows, festivals of plays, pantomimes and presenting road shows.

Jennie did her work experience with Carol and through this assisted Carol with one of the drama classes for a year. It was through Carol as well that she secured her first television role in Emmerdale, playing the friend of real life friend Vicky Binns.

Jennie was attending the workshop when Carol put her forward for the role of Fiz Brown in Coronation Street, the role that Jennie is still playing today. Jennie attended the workshop at the same time as many of her Coronation Street co-stars including Nikki Sanderson, Helen Flanigan, Vicky Binns and of course Sam Aston.
