With my background in developing commercial opportunities, I'm eager to help the Barn not only become an exceptional producing theatre but also a vibrant creative hub for producers and makers looking to create and develop new work.

“We have the opportunity to shape the future of theatre and to make the Barn a shining example of what a modern, forward-thinking theatre can be.”
