Meet the Team

The Living Theatre wouldn’t exist without the wonderful army of volunteers who give up their time to help with all aspects of running our productions, from manning the car park to updating our website, thank you to everyone who makes what we do possible.

THE ARTISTIC DIRECTORS

Emma Fisher

Emma is a co-founder and creative director at The Living Theatre, with a focus on marketing and events producing.

“ The Living Theatre is an extremely special place to me, it not only acts as just a theatre but also a space to support people’s mental well being and for me personally a space of remembrance that honours many important people in my life who, without them, the theatre would have ceased to exist. For me it’s a space of remembrance, healing and opportunity and one that I hope to be open to all to benefit from. And of course to create some fabulous shows along the way!”

James Schofield

James came to The Living Theatre as an actor in 2021 and has since joined the Creative team as a co-creative director. James has a keen focus on community and industry outreach, expanding the family of the theatre both as a professional arts space and a community hub for all.

“I love the variety of activity The Living Theatre plays host to, whether its a full scale production, a wellbeing yoga class or a day of gardening, the theatre creates a little bit of magic everytime!”

Stephanie Booth

Steph is an actor and co-creative director at The Living Theatre. Steph works mainly in the programming and planning aspects of the theatre with a particular focus and passion for immersive projects.

“Theatre should be for everyone, whether you are a performer, designer or audience member. The Living Theatre really embodies that ethos and I am so excited to work in a space and with people that want to push creative boundaries and make something special from what used to be a dumping ground.”
