About me
After graduating from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, I worked continuously in theatre for ten years from fortnightly repertory to major pantomimes and national tours including Grease and Blood Brothers. With the birth of my children, I stopped touring in favour of venue management at The Regent Centre, Christchurch, and subsequently at Highcliffe Castle. Throughout my residencies I continued to freelance as a CSM & PM. My children are now independent and, as planned, I have returned to theatre full time, bringing additional strategic experience and administrative expertise gained whilst in longer term positions.I have extensive experience in running fit ups, get outs and production periods, creating production schedules, rehearsal and travel schedules and coordinating press and marketing calls.
I am good listener, arbitrator and communicator and by reputation am calm and patient in character. I work well under pressure and love the buzz of live theatre.
Additional skills:
Running fit-ups and get-outs,
production scheduling,
basic relighting,
sound operation,
call sheets,
logistics (travel and transport).
