 ==Biography==
-Born in Bulawayo, Rhodesia, where he attended high school at Hamilton High School from 1961 to 1966, then he moved to Cape Town in 1968 and in 1969 began studying Pharmacy at the Cape Town Technical College.
+Dave Ellinger was born in July 1948 in Bulawayo, Rhodesia, where he attended high school at Hamilton High School from 1961 to 1966. As a teenager, he saw live stage shows ranging from school productions to professional companies, classical music to flamenco, but did not participate.  For two years he was a volunteer usher at the Bulawayo Theatre however, which he says did broaden his view of live stage shows.
-Between 1970 and 1975 he worked as a freelance photographer with many [[amateur]] dramatic societies in the Cape Town area, supplying supplied hundreds of [[front-of-house]] enlargements for foyer display and for press publicity.
+He moved to Cape Town in 1968 and in 1969 began studying Pharmacy at the Cape Town Technical College. He settled in Muizenberg where he lived extremely close to the [[Masque Theatre]] on the Main Road, and got involved there as a volunteer, soon getting involved operating the lighting board or the sound tape deck,  painting flats, or whatever was needed.  He also had bit parts in a Xmas pantomime.
-From 2001 till 2014 he worked as a salesman and photographer for the Whysalls Pty Ltd., an electronics store in Umhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal.
+At that time he was also starting to enjoy an informal apprenticeship with two professional photographic studios, which led to him taking press publicity photographs and foyer photographs for the [[Masque Theatre]]. Word of mouth then led him to many other theatre groups, notably [[Sons of England]] in Claremont, where he again helped in any way possible, from set construction to stage management.
