 Jill LawrieFor me theatre has it all, such a powerful and engaging form of entertainment from the script, to the costumes, the set and the lighting that all come together to inspire the magic of performance. For many years I worked backstage with a couple of theatre groups as well as being Deputy Stage Manager for Chichester Festival Theatre’s big millennium production The Barchester Chronicles. I have also notched up over a decade as a theatre reviewer most recently joining the team here at Theatre South East. I have been a theatre goer for as long as I can remember, developing my love of live theatre from visiting the West End musicals with my parents. I have passed this passion on to my children and grandchildren so singing, dancing and acting are a regular feature at family get togethers. |
 Sandra JenkinsI worked as in the West End theatre ticketing business for over 16 years selling shows to the public and obtaining difficult ticket requests for the concierge market so can appreciate shows from the audience perspective. Before I retired in 2016, I worked as Assistant Programmer for the four theatres of Worthing dealing with the financial side of staging a show and producers and promoter direct. Now that I have more time on my hands I regularly attend new shows and enjoy writing customer reviews Read Sandra’s Reviews |

 Gill RansonFor as long as I remember I have always loved going to live performances, from Shakespeare to Alan Bennett, comedy to tragedy, modern dance to classical ballet. Having a ticket or two on my mantelpiece means always something special to look forward to. All theatre performances excite me and although I’ve never been directly involved as a performer, on occasion I have been termed a bit of ‘drama queen’! Moving to West Sussex 4 years ago has given me the wonderful opportunity of working within Front of House at Worthing Theatres and Museum, and very recently I joined their Development and Fundraising Team.

 Julie WarwickI really enjoy live performances of theatre, music and dance and have no practical experience of this field apart from terrifying school orchestra performances! I appreciate the talent of all performers and find the live experience and interaction with the audience thrilling. I consider theatre to be an active experience. I like to be entertained, moved and made to think. Read Julie’s Reviews |
