Jermyn Street Theatre has announced replacements for Artistic Director and Executive Producer TOM LITTLER, who is stepping down after five years.

STELLA POWELL-JONES will work as artistic director. She returns to Jermyn Street Theatre following her 2017-2019 tenure as deputy director and her recent critically acclaimed Offie nominated production of Orlando.

DAVID DOYLE steps into the role of Executive Producer, after joining the theatre in 2021 as resident producer. Doyle will take charge of the theatre’s creative producing and strategic development and will work alongside Powell-Jones in leading the theatre’s creative output.

Powell-Jones and Doyle will work alongside Executive Director PENNY HORNER to form the management team of the West End’s smallest producing theatre.

Horner called the pair an “exceptional pairing” that she looks forward to working closely with.

“Stella is an exceptional director who played a vital role in transforming our theatre into a producing house during her time as Deputy Director – we look forward to having her back in the building!”

“It’s been a joy working with David over the past year as he supported us through reopening last year, and we’re thrilled that he will continue his brilliant work, helping shape our business strategy.”
