                    Joe Leather

                    President
                    Joe Leather


                    Joe is a third-year law student from Castle and has been involved in more than 25 Durham productions, including the Durham Improvised Musical and two Gala shows. In addition, Joe has also been part of the DST, CTC and DDF execs as well as co-editing Durham21 and co-founding a theatre company, 3DTC. Prior to Durham, Joe spent a gap year using song to teach English in Senegal and conducting drama workshops to educate people on their rights as part of the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative in Ghana. As President, Joe is lucky enough to work closely with the entire (and hugely talented) DULOG exec as well as with representatives from other areas of Durham life to ensure that the society continues to run smoothly.

                    Hannah Howie



                    Hannah Howie is a second-year Hatfielder studying an eclectic melange of subjects within her combined honours degree. She was heavily involved onstage with Durham Student Theatre in her fresher’s year playing a scantily clad prostitute in Threepenny Opera, a nymphomaniac granny in The Producers and a naked lady in A Clockwork Orange. This summer, she spent her days roaming around the Fringe Festival in her home town of Edinburgh promoting Hot Mikado in which she played Yum-Yum. Prior to university life, Hannah trained with Scottish Opera during her gap year before travelling off to Fiji to teach in a local primary school.

                    Treasurer
                    Douglas Gibbs



                    Doug is a third-year student reading law. He has acted in six DULOG shows from 2009-2011, including West Side Story, The Wild Party and The Producers, and has been involved in over 15 productions in Durham. Doug also directed DULOG’s summer cabaret, No Fixed Address, and Edges: A New Musical with his own theatre company, and played Pooh-Bah in Durham Fringe Productions’ Hot Mikado at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2011. His role as treasurer involves everything to do with money. The treasurer allocates a budget to every show and deals with expenses claims and payment of invoices, as well as devising DULOG’s overall financial strategy.
