UK Theatre announces new board members

UK Theatre has announced five new board members.

Talawa Theatre Company Executive Director and Joint CEO CAROLYN ML FORSYTH, Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre Director COLIN MARR, Creu Cymru Director LOUISE MILES-PAYNE and Birds of Paradise Theatre Company Producer MICHELLE ROLFE join as co-opted board members.

SAMIR BHAMRA, Founder and Artistic Director of Phizzical Productions, becomes a member of UK Theatre's new subscriber board.

The association says the recruits address skills gaps and the under-representation of some demographics in the current board. 

President STEPHANIE SIRR said having a diverse board strengthens governance and makes its council more innovative and relevant.
