Lisa
Armetta: Narrator Lisa teaches foreign languages by day and sings by night. This native Chicagoan found an instant attraction to BLOC when she blew into Brussels in 1995, and has since plunged into its many activities both on-stage and behind the scenes. Happiest belting out Broadway numbers, she also enjoys performing traditional operettas, choral works and close-harmony music. |

Andrew
Pimm: Joseph Andrew was born in Croydon, England and came to Belgium in 1994. Whilst vocal training with soprano Margaret Lysak for several years, Andrew regularly featured as a principal with BLOC in shows such as The Pirates of Penzance, La Vie Parisienne, Oklahoma, HMS Pinafore, The Gypsy Princess, Kismet and most recently as Marco Palmieri in The Gondoliers. With the A.T.C he appeared in Annie Get Your Gun and also played comic baddies in two pantos for the E.C.C culminating in his most devastating and hilarious performance to date as Dracula in the Dracula Spectacular. On a more serious note, Andrew has appeared as a soloist in works by Bach, Handel, Haydn and Mozart under the baton of Pam Clements CBE and took part in the Belgian premiere of Weill's Street Scene. In 'real life' Andrew is married to the infinitely more talented mezzo Jane McBride and they have two children, David and baby Lucy. |
