Tron Theatre appoints new board of directors

ROBERTA DOYLE has been appointed Chair at Tron Theatre, succeeding SHEREEN NANJIANI MBE who steps down after ten years in the role.

Specialising in organisational business and corporate planning, Doyle has served as Director of External Affairs at National Theatre of Scotland and Scottish Opera, as well as Director of Public Affairs at National Galleries of Scotland.  

In addition to being a trustee of Scottish Opera, Doyle sits on the board of two grant-giving organisations, Donald Dewar Awards and William Syson Foundation.

She is a member of the Expert Advisory Panel of the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and has recently been part of the team leading a review of Arts Council Ireland's 10-year Business Plan. 

“The Tron Theatre in Glasgow is one of the jewels in the crown of Scotland's cultural world," said Doyle.

"Punching well above its weight, the Tron has brought countless important works to the stage, garnering critical and popular acclaim.

“I look forward eagerly to working with the Board and staff, with artists and writers and with every one of the talented people whose skills – onstage and off – make such wonderful theatre for audiences and participants at home and abroad."

Executive Director PATRICIA STEAD said the team has "every confidence that she will guide us through the next phase of the theatre's evolution, bringing her extensive expertise in the sector to bear on the many opportunities and challenges we face going forward".
