== Biography ==
Bruce Sanderson was born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa in 1954. As a young boy, he was introduced to the theatre and the theatre “bug” bit him hard. He joined The Western Players and [[PEMADS]], and later became involved with the P E [[Gilbert and Sullivan Society]] (P E G & S) and the [[Port Elizabeth Shakespearean Festival]] (PESF). In later years he served on the committees of PEMADS, PESF and P E G & S. He is a past President of the P E G & s Society. He trained as a teacher, and, in 2000, he and his family moved to Cape Town. Bruce is now an Estate Agent, and still dabbles in Amateur Theatre.
