LISA Coady, a member of the Centenary Operatic and Dramatic Society, will make her professional debut with the Out of Joint Theatre Company at the Manchester Library Theatre in Manchester from March 23-27.

Out of Joint are presenting the double-header Blue Heart by Caryl Churchill and they always invite a locally-based actress to play the character called Susy, a long absent daughter around whose expected return the drama unfolds.

Lisa was born in Marple and now lives in Warrington. She graduated in 1995 and is now works for a computer reseller in Warrington as a senior account support.

She has been a member of Centenary for the past two years and has been seen in the plays Something To Hide, All in Good Time and, most recently, Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest in which she shone in the role of Cecily.
